having a hard time removing gts air splitters

ok i kind of need help removing my air splitters (i need to take them on before i can put on my lip) I know some of you guys here have done it already.. I have no problem removing the 3 exterior screws on the bottom of the bumper, however on the inside there are five 10mm screws that need to be removed with a socket wrench. I made a picture to explain what i mean

I have no problem accessing the screws (i took off my bumper) but i have no idea how to take off the screw if it keeps spinning in place.. i dont know what to do anymore, someone please help me. I have my air splitter attached to my bumper by those two screws and ive spent the past 2 days trying to take it off to no avail.

things i have tried:
1) spraying the screw generously with WD40
2) sticking a screw driver under the screw to try to pry it while i unscrew it with the socket wrench
3) try to give some pressure on the air splitter in hopes of the screw catching something inside the plastic housing (thereby keeping it stationary while the nut spins loose)
so far i have had no luck with any of these methods.

any help is appreciated, thx

If you have an impact wrench, you can try using that. You have to try sticking something under the plastic to hold the screw in place. Do needle nose pliers fit under there?
That's all I can think about.

Btw which lip are you installing HL, HL2 or something else?
