Getting screw out of soft wood?

Wow, is that Canberra tag new?

Anyway, bought a very cheap DIY shelf. I think it's crap all round 1) screw head snapped in half when drilling it in 2) shelf doesn't remain flush to the wall 3) and here's my main issue, there are two screws I need to screw back into the wood (see step 6), unfortunately trying to remove one of them, I turn and turn and it won't come out. It isn't like the thread could possibly be gone, I just think the wood around it is so soft that it has no grip on that.

Solutions? I could use a knife, probably damage the wood more, and then I'll need bigger (thicker) screws to go back into it eh?

Any other ideas?
