Help for Window Brackets

[GreenFort]

Im trying to remove these window brackets from my wall. The brackets are bound by 4 screws. Im not sure what type of screws they are. They were painted over, so I'm not sure the type. The equipment I have is a RYOBI CORDLESS DRILL, DEWALT Drill Bit Set & DEWALT Screwdriver Bit Set. I tried every drill bit with my drill, to see if I could reverse the screws out. No dice. I used my array of screwdriver bits with a screwdriver, couldn't get none of the screws out. Im a novice when it comes to diy fixes in the home. Looking for solutions with list of equipment needed or technical guidance if needed.

Welcome.
Typically, those screws have threads similar to those of wood screws so, In the past, I've used a pair of dykes to start and a plier to complete. I also used a Dremel to cut a notch that a flat bladed screwdriver will fit.

@Snoonyb is their specific style of diagonal plier/pliers I need for those screws? I have electronic rotary rotary tool or know as a Dremel tool. Never used it. Is their a specific Dremel bit I need to cut a notch in the screws?

I have 3 sizes of these; https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-8-in-Diagonal-Cutters-48-22-6508/305554256#ratings-and-reviews, not that specific brand.

I use the 1-1/2" of these, for tight spaces;
