Graham,
The Reed and Prince screw drivers can help. The problem with most sole screws is the heads have been ground/filed off during the refinish process. You can use heat to loosen the glue on the screws. I have a special tool for this, its basically a heating iron. I have also drilled them out.
Most parts of the wood head restoring process is tedious and diffacult. Its tedious and time consuming, thats why it costs so much. That and the fact there are so few of us doing it anymore, mostly because of demand.
Hope this helps.

Gentlemen
I've only done a couple of re-shafts on old wood drivers. I always have
trouble with the screws in the sole of the clubs. I've used Philips head
screwdrivers but often they will turn causing burring. In the last one I
ground off the tip of a Philips so that it would seat down better but
still not great.
I've heard that the older Reed and Prince or Frearson bits are better
for these jobs. Is this right? If so, where can I get some? If not, any
tips?
Cheers
Graham
