I don't care about the deck boards, but want to be kind to the joists and set up an easier re-install.

I had this exact problem.
If you don’t care to salvage the boards, buy or rent a digging bar. So easy to pry up the boards. Most will crack and splint, but it’s a million times faster than try to unscrew the deck screws.

Your joists will be fine.
