Don't try and solder it before you try every else to get it apart. Including cutting the screw head off.
I would work a flat head screwdriver between the windshield and stove bracket. Putting some pressure her might lock up the spinning insert and...
The legs off a Coleman peak 1 apex 11 are suitable for this. They bolt on.
