you could try using different screwdrivers. try something a little bigger. you can also try flathead screwdrivers. the screwdriver that comes with the xmod is crap.

when turning the screwdriver, push the tip of tha screw driver into tha head of tha screw very strongly with alot of pressure to prevent slipping. like spinit said, try a little bigger screwdriver size also

I would use the medium Needle nose pliers. It might take a while but it will work. Or as stated above, a bigger s'driver

If none of the above work, which im pretty sure one will, try this. If you have a dremel tool or something of the sort, grind a slot in the head of the screw to make it a flat head screw. Hope this helps.

if you put the regular screwdriver in at an angle but put the pressure down on the screw like in the picture that might work. the green line is the way you have to push down. the angle may be a bit exaggerated.
