I'm changing the bridge on my guitar to one that doesn't have rusted screws to one that autolocking (so it doesn't fall off when changing strings), has graphite saddles, and I guess isn't supposed to rust.
Anyways, so I'm taking everything off, but one of the pieces that goes into the body is stuck and won't come out. I tried prying it up with a small flathead screwdriver, and got nothing but a few scratches on the finish It looks like it may be a tad bit rusted down, anyone have any ideas? Here's a picture for reference:

I just used a flathead screwdriver as a punch and hammered them out...but I wouldn't recommend that on a finish you care about.

take the bridge post that threaded in there to home depot and match the threads to a screw that is longer. Thread that in there and use it as a handle to pull it out

Ooh, I will try first since I have screws here. If nothing, then I'll try the second. Thanks to the both of you!
