rusty screws

Author: RAL

I am starting to restore my US$ 6,5 Amati clarinet.

Well, two of the clarinet lower joint pivot screws are really rusted, with the slot almost gone. Taking them out would be a challenge.

However, I am able to remove the keys (the opposing screws are in good shape), and the pivot side is in good shape and not rusted.

I am thinking about just leaving them, as I guess that trying to get the screws out will be messy, with potential damage to the post and the pivot part.

Opinions?
