if you don't care about saving the screws, snip off the bent part (i assume the part in the axle slots are still straight?) and unscrew the remaining bit.
bolt cutters will work, or a decent set of wire cutters if you've got strong hands.

What is the best way to remove them without damaging the threaded holes that they reside in? Both are bent sufficently so that they cannot be straightened enough to still unscrew in their normal manner.
