Trees through deck - Input Sought

We recently purchased a home that had a deck built around two oak trees. The trees have grown to where they are now impacting the deck, particularly when it's windy. I wish to address this before winter storms come...

I include a couple photos. I wish to clearance the openings, but not sure what tool might be best for the job. On the larger tree, I might just mark-up the lumber, then remove the planks, cut and screw back into place. I started this and a couple screws busted on me (pretty rusty)...

On the other tree, those planks are longer and run under some steps, so their removal is not so easy.

Curious to hear any thoughts. Thanks much.
