When screws are too tight, you can heat then with the tip of a soldering
iron, or dribble a little alcohol, acetone, liquid wrench on tehm and
let it soak in. THEN try TIGHTENING each one slightly, and then try to
loosen. If screwdriver tip slips out of head, tip is not the correct
size, is worn down or your not pressing hard enough.
