When stuck with something like that, I use two hard metal wires about the size of the holes. When inserted in the holes, using a lever (screwdriver?) between the wires while holding the top of the wires together, I can generally unscrew them. You must not apply too much torque on the lever, otherwise the screw head can be damaged, making it even harder to remove it (most screws are made of rather sort metal).
