To remove a rusted screw from a license plate, you can try using penetrating oil to loosen the rust. Let the oil sit for a few hours or overnight, then use a screwdriver or drill to carefully remove the screw. If the screw is still stuck, you may need to use a screw extractor tool or seek professional help.
It is important to replace a rusted license plate screw on your vehicle because rust can weaken the screw, causing the license plate to become loose or fall off. This can lead to a safety hazard on the road and may result in a traffic violation. Regularly checking and replacing rusted screws helps ensure that your license plate remains securely attached to your vehicle.

It depends, if it is rough when you put your finger to it and slide it down the rim, (not fast though, if it IS rusty than it will cut you), then it is rusty. Try putting it in something or screw it on something, if you cant, its rusted.
take it to a mechanic Soak it with a good penetrating oil, tap it with a hammer and if that fails apply heat.
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.
