Do you have to disconnect battery to change car stereo?

I have a honda accord 94, which is pretty old, and i bought a new stereo(because old one broke down).

And as i read through the instruction for the installation,
it told me to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery,

i tried to do it, but the screws are so rusted that i couldn't get it off,
i tried hot water and cola.

To further describe how rusted it is, i could say the screw's end, which is supposed to be octagon(?), lost its shape, part to my struggle to get that thing off.

So...... the introduction was kinda long, i want to know if i could
just go ahead and change the stereo(i will be working with wiring and stuff) without taking the negative terminal out
