You might have to heat while exerting torque on the screws. Can't do that. The old shaft has neoprene feed rollers and plastic bushings on it. Heat could transfer through the aluminum block that holds it all together. Not safe in this application.
I may revisit your other suggestion, though. Thanks.

Not totally off topic:
The hex on my Delta faucet handle died; a "star" wrench from harbor freight turned it right out. FYI

Drilling the screw will heat it plenty.
Use a small bit and then apply WD or whatever. As the bolt cools it will draw in the lube.
Now try the wrench.
Drill straight, bear in mind that this is a pilot hole for a bit to fit an EZ out in the worse case.
Frozen Allen screws are a piece of cake to remove.
