Are your screws stainless steel? They’re the recommended choice for decking but most installs I’ve seen don’t use them as they are a bit more expensive. I used stainless on my deck mainly because I had all the problems Bobbo described removing the old ones, and ended up buying a recip saw and cutting it all out. Obviously if the heads are sound unscrewing is a better way to go, but it will take a while. It took me a whole day to put 1,000 screws in, with pilot holes, with two cordless drill drivers, an impact driver, and spare batteries to swap out on the charger.
