Thanks to everybody who chimed in on this!

Tom, I have two screwdriver sets, with a gazillion different heads...
and I tried them all... unsuccessfully.

Matt, you are absolutely right, there is no need at all to tighten
that particular screw too much. I just have a grip like a vise. I do
the same thing with bottle caps.

Angelo, I definitely won't buy another screwdriver, for the above
reasons.

I finally came up with a Solomonic solution. I realized that the heat
shield is extremely flexible, so I played with it until I could get it
out without breaking it. I needed to take it off to install the HDD
cage. Now it's back in place, held by the unshakable screw and another
one, which I took care not to over tighten... :-)
