    I think their plastic screws that hold a clip in.
    Are they turning and just not unscrewing?
    If so try using a small flat screwdriver between the screw and clip. put some preasure on the screw and see if it unscrews.

    As you turn the screw, don't push down, but get a thin flat screw driver and push under the screw head and prise up as you undo the screw.

    them plastic clips are a pain in the arse.Just use a small flat screwdriver to lifts the screw up & get some needle nose pliers to rip the screw up & out when you can grip it.
