I have these rusted screws in my garage door.

How do I remove them? I tried using pliers, a hammer, Water Displacement 40. Didn't come out.

Here is another view from the inside:

If someone has a tip regarding how to go about removing these two rusted screws, then please let me know.

Thanks kindly

What you have on the inside looks like a rusty nut on a rusty threaded stud that is part of the broken rusty outside handle.

You don't mention having tried a wrench (AKA spanner) - the closed end of a combination wrench offers the best grip. You may need to clean loose rust using a wire brush to get it to fit. An adjustable wrench might work better than the pliers you mentioned, Using a vise-grip (AKA locking pliers AKA mole-grip) on the outside may help if the outside parts rotate.

You could cut them off with a hacksaw, a rotary tool (Dremel etc) or a multitool.

Sometimes you can use heat to help free up rusted/siezed parts like that. If you have a blowtorch, you could try this. Personally I'd cut them off since you probably don't want to reuse the nuts or the outer handle..
