How to remove the screws inside the MacBook Unibody Model A1278?

Text:

I was following the guide ([guide|763]) and am using the PH00 screwdriver bit but for some reason the screws just will not turn and I ended up almost (if not actually) stripping one of the screws trying to remove the screws around the fan. Are the screws glued in? There are several other screws that are the same size that remove just fine but some that won't budge?
