Sadly one was rusty and two were already stripped. I could get one out and I tried to drill out the other ones with a tiny drill bit but it didn't work.

When I say hinge sadly it's more like the lid... https://imgur.com/a/QoMCN7r https://imgur.com/a/QoMCN7r

In my case the copper contacts for the battery were almost rusted through, so there wasn't much I could do.
Also I replaced the CMOS and standby batteries but weirdly it still complained in boot. (I checked the polarity).
