Even if you get a new try, the risk of damaging the housing would remain. Not done this personally but can think of two options.
If the screws were stuck due to over tightening, there’s a bunch of screw out kits that go for $5-$15 that can help. Be careful not to use too much force as it could break the plastic pieces.
Another solution might be using a penetrating oil for rusted parts. Hammering a screwdriver can also help. Check this article:

Grab them with a pair of vice grips. Looks like you are buying a new battery cover anyway, since there's chunks of it underneath those bolts.

They spin but the metal threaded part spins with the screw which is the problem
The battery cover is actually good, I’m not sure where that random piece of plastic came from. My only guess is the previous owner tried to use it as a washer or spacer for whatever reason
