Back screws hard to open

I bought the IFixIt Essential ToolKit and I’m using a triwing screwdriver. I have managed to get 4 out but I’m really struggling with the last two. I can’t seem to get the screw to grip the screwdriver to turn it. Is there a way to make it easier to open it?

Just adding to my last comment

If you use a screwdriver with a bigger Handel it gives you better torque so it’s easier to undo screws
