Are you referring to the pentalobe screws on the bottom of the housing (on ether side of the charge port)?

If you’re screwdriver has no grip , you could try to put a stretched-out rubber band between the two or set it with epoxy. If the screwdriver has a bit of grip, then try gently prying the screen upward while trying to unscrew.
