Under the screw head there is sometimes adhesive (Loctite). Another special tool is used to remove the counter dial without damaging it. I made one using a 15mm brass olive that I used to clamp it. Make a cut in the olive with a hacksaw then use a long thin screw and nut to squeeze the olive around the dial. This problem was posted a year or more ago.
