Felix, Sometimes it's a matter of using just the exact right-fitting screwdriver. It's amazing how just a little bit of change in the contour of the screwdriver will make all the difference in the world. Take your machine with you to the hardware store and try all their different tiny precision screwdrivers until you find the one that works. Then buy it!
