Rusty hood scoop screw removal help!

Hello everyone! I recently purchased a used hood scoop for my R53 because mine was broken. The scoop itself is in good shape. I wanted to replace the screws on the scoop, and first three came out pretty easily. However, there's one last screw that's so rusted that it won't budge even a little bit... Here's a pic for it.

I wonder what is the best way to remove it without breaking the plastic and the paint. Thanks!

Update: I tried to wiggle it and it came loose! Then I removed it without breaking anything!
