Bolts snapping

I have a Briggs and Stratton 11P902-0693-B1 where the 3 screws that hold the cover and pull cord assembly keep snapping. I tried wiggling it back and forth with no luck.​

Anybody have any trick with these screws?

Which end are you referring to? The recoil or the where they are mounted in the engine. Images of these stubs show red loctite present on the replacement ones. If it is the end at the engine it probably will take some heating to soften the loctite.

Where they are mounted in the engine. I'll heat it up next time I need to remove them.
I have 1 older one where none broke but I just got one with good compression but the owners likely snapped all 3 to replace the rope and a 3rd one that the screw is not turning so I am leaving it so as not to break it off.
