Depends on where and how rusted. WD-40 may help. Putting a screwdriver in the slot and hitting it once or twice with a hammer may break it loose if it is in something that will survive the hit. Heating it with a propane torch will loosen it if that is possible. Sometimes you have to drill it out and put a larger one in it's place. An impact screwdriver can be used. You beat on the end while turning the screw.

remove the 2 plastic screw knobs directly on top of headlight assembly, they will most likely be rusted in so you might have to use vice grips or channel locks to break them loose, after that the assembly will pull straight up and out.
