I have had this problem before and there is another way. If you can get the right size (my dad has some jewelers screwdrivers)you can open it with a flat head if you apply presure in the right why so that it wont come out of the grip. Just stick it into two of the cut outs and press down and twist. Eventually you sould get it. Though this wont really work if you even slightly striped the screws because using a Flathead you need all the grip you can get. I would still try though.

I used a small square head

Just jam it in, apply some pressure and twist, I managed to get all the big screws out with that and then realized there was even smaller ones :mad:
