I have tried with everything, touque and etc and seems like they do not want to come off.
Seems like the screws are really stuck inside or they used some red locktite or something.
I tried with other screw drivers and the stock one and even tried a low end touque on the drill I got.
I try to turn it and it's ripping the diamond edges on the screw, still not stripped but man if I try any harder im scared I might not beable to take them off because I'll strip them worse.
Its not like I don't know wtf im doing I done this shit on my own bike and others and never ever seen this thing be stuck as my girls bike.

Is it the same on both left and right bar ends?
I have a screwdriver that has a handle shaped like a "T" (the top part of the T sits in your palm). It lets you push the driver incredibly hard (far more than a normal screwdriver) and it has undone screws that were all but done-for.
How about an impact driver? A dealer would have something that can help I am sure.
