I thought I was going to have that problem with one of the side screws that I had trouble removing. It was definitely a balancing act how much pressure you can apply to push into the screw head while turning it and not do any damage to the reader, but I finally got them all out. I was pretty determined though never having had a blue one. I used a set like this one, the #0 phillips, the 2nd one from the left, and I ended up not stripping any of the heads. I think the tiny ones that are sold separately say for eyeglass screws probably wouldn't have held up to remove them.
