How do I get these screws out while doing as little damage…

How do I get these screws out while doing as little damage to the piece as possible.

This is a 14” slab of olive wood that someone gave me years ago. Back then I wanted to turn the slab as is with the bark and branches and everything but decided I wasn’t skilled enough. I had glued a piece of sacrificial cherry to act as the tenon. Fast forward to today and I cut this 14” piece out of the slab, it was the biggest area I could get without all the branches and bark. The piece had a ton of checks and cracks so I cast it in resin. I couldn’t cut through the cherry before casting no matter what I did, I was burning the wood with my bandsaw and couldnt get any ground with a hand saw. I just mounted it on the lathe using a faceplate on the other side and locked it in place. I used a reciprocating saw to cut the cherry off and found out pretty quick that I originally mounted the piece and put a face plate on there and broke some screws. No wonder it was so hard to cut off. How do I get these screws out? I wanted this to be the bottom, I have no idea how long they are. I’m frustrated at younger me.
