So as the title says, all three parts are stuck with each other. The cpu is amd phenom ii 3.2 stock, the motherboard is am3+ asus m5a87, and the cooler is h55 corsair water cooler. This is the picture explaining how it's stuck. Motherboard backboard

Whenever I turn the screw to unscrew the mounts, the thing that's supposed to stay still gets turned with it instead of staying still. The damage was from installing it. The parts work completely fine otherwise with good temperatures 28-30 degrees idle. Before I sell this thing as a bundle with my graphics card - amd 6870, is there any way I can seperate them? I kind of want to use the cpu cooler.
 
I would use a very thin pair of pliers to gently hold the back screw in place whilst unscrewing the front washer from the other side of the motherboard with a different tool, be very very careful not to scratch the motherboard or you may cause permanent damage!
