best way to remove a stuck screw?

If an externally threaded fastener is tightened by the head into a captive nut (nut-plate, etc.), it is still a screw

Why did you even bother to bring this up? The difference between a screw and a bolt, in terms of linguistics, is overarchingly trivial as the word is almost never used on its own, without context, to describe a fastener.

both. the thread on the screw is jacked.

Who was the last person to screw it in? Only an incompetent person would try to tighten a screw at risk of cross-threading. If in doubt, the thread needs to be cleaned with a tap.
