Need advice re: changing leaking tank sensors

Hello all and thanks for your kind advice in the past.

My holding tank in my 29fe leaks at least from one of the sensors. They’re the screw-type (pictured). My initial plan was to back out the screw and replace it with a new screw and appropriately sized rubber washer. Unfortunately the leads are rusted to the screw. A little squirt of WD-40 only served to loosen the sensor shaft in the tank wall and not the rusted pieces. Figures!

I think my next step is to try replacing all four sensors with the RecPro screw in sensors. They appear to be the same diameter (or slightly larger) than the existing holes so it should work. Link below.

My question is how do I get the old sensors out of the tank without damaging it or enlarging the existing holes? Also if there are other potential difficulties I’d appreciate any guidance.

Thanks as always.
