you’re at the point of possibly ruining the faucet stems if you try to force the handles off first squirt some liquid wrench into the holes where the handle screws used to be then go to the local plumbing supply house and buy a handle puller along with new bibb seats screws and washers for you brand of faucet (if you don’t know the brand yuo will have to make 2 trips)if you dont want to buy a handle puller you can try to wggle the handles off however this requires a deft touch so you don’t break the stems the handle puller looks like a small gear puller and works the same way after yuo get the handles off replace both washers and seats and you’ll have a long lasting repair
