Do you think it’s feasible to do that without removing the full window, eg just taking out the two bottom glass panels?

Seems everything I look at in this holiday house has rotted. This window frame is cedar but the front part was completely crumbly so I cut it off and was planning to simply screw another piece on...

It was actually a broken screw, the head was turning but not coming out, and I found it had sheared about halfway down. I removed all the other screws and levered/worked it loose. The other side is...

Stainless steel screws and the threads are stripped.
