Can't remove screws from bow telescoptic ladder to replace entire ladder system.

Hi guys. New to the Hurricane family. '01 Fundeck 188.
The bow ladder was bent and will not retract properly so I bought a replacement Windline ladder. Problem is, screws just spin when trying to remove from above. The only small access to that area is the anchor locker and my arms simply aren't long enough to grab hold to the nut with some pliers or a wrench to stop the spinning. Any recommendations as to how I can get those screws out? Thanks for any help here!

The only other thing I could think to do is cut an access plate in the ladder pocket to be able to access the underneath side of the brackets.

Thanks. That was my thought too. Just always try to go with the less intrusive option first.
