Since you are ‘coring’ those corroded fasteners and pulling the planks away from them, you will be left with a couple thousand screws sticking proud.
One way to remove those is with vise-grips, individually, though I wouldn’t do that unless Jim is paying by the hour!
You can try tightening a keyless chuck (on a cordless drill) on the heads or shanks, and reversing them out?
Happy new year!

Never thought of the drill method. Good to know.

If the drill trick doesn’t work to remove the old damaged screws, one (or more) of these might work.
As it is turned counterclockwise it’s grip on the fastener increases. They work pretty well.
