I bought a Braun rechargeable penlight (SKU 59350) from HF as a replacement light for an optical micrometer. Very impressed and holds a charge for very long time. Almost too bright for my application. At $19.99, might be worth a look.
If I run into stuck smaller fasteners, I've found either my pneumatic (preferred) or cordless 1/4" impact will usually rattle them out without breaking 'em off if I start very light on the trigger and slowly increase. Is it possibly the vibration with less torque applied?
