Yep, you were right, got all the screws out in the end by removing several coats of gloss that had been painted over the hinges and screws since the 60's!
I have numbered all the hinges so know where they came from, tempted to buy new ones rather than try and clean up the old ones, the round part of the hinge is visible from the front. Are they standard sizes?

Cleaning screw heads makes an absolutely massive difference. It’s a pain in the arse to do, but less of a pain than dealing with a completely stripped screw head!
