Default Stuck Speedometer

I changed the wiring over 20 years ago without removing instrument pod.
Want to remove the cluster pod 5 screws/nuts in order to remove speedometer.
but 1st screw/nut spinning due to rust and I’m not able to see the the other 3 screws/nuts.
need mileage reading to pass safety check for annual registration fees.
Any advice help?
thanks in advance.

Assuming this is your 58?
Sometimes if you put a wedge between the joint at the stripped screw, it will allow the screw to break loose and come out.
