There are various dodges... Ideally, of course, you shouldn't munch the screwhead first but that's not always an option! I'm going to let the experts suggest anything involving penetrating oils as I don't know where you might then have to remove the oil from... A number of people use Wiha picodrive screwdrivers, which are much better for applying grunt to a stiff screw without damaging it that your ordinary jeweller's screwdrivers,which I suspect is what you have. These come in Philips (crosshead) and flathead. There's recently been a discussion on rangefinderforum.com about JIS screwdrivers (again, try the search facility over there - though you may have to register - to find details of the supplier), which many Japanese firms used. These might be worth investing in as they will help you avoid munching screw heads. Hope that helps! |
