The head of the screw is close to circular!

25 down and one to go is really frustrating and it looks like tube swapping across the channels is not going to be achievable by myself, scratching head time, looks like this needs to go to somebody more qualified than me since i cant think of removing without marking the green beastie.
This happened to me once with a Copland CD player. Very frustrating !
Sorry Paul.
I would drill the screw out, with a dental bur if I had your unit on hand, or I would grave a new cross in the screw to grab it with a cross screwdriver.
It is not very tough to pull out a screw with a damaged head. Maybe you can ask your carpenter....or your dentist !
