The guy is a friend of mine too, and I once saved him 10,000 dollars framing a mega addition on his house and roofing it. Now I hear I am a bad customer...

Use an impact to get them off, if you want minimal damage. If yours won't do it, get a proper one.
I don't have nor want an impact gun. What about "soft sockets"? I've hear mixed reviews.
