[Note I was joking]Using a punch inserted into one of the holes and hammered at the right angle to drive the screw round.[/Note]
Not necessarily a joke. It sounds like the 'security' bolt/thingy that holds on a cover over the wheel nuts on my car. It has a flat top with four small holes. The (plastic with metal pins) tool provided for undoing it is nothing like man enough for the job when (as often happens) the fastener tightens up after a while. A hammer and punch, used as you describe, is the only way I've found to do it when they are tight - and I therefore now always carry such tools in the car!
Circlip pliers, if the screws aren't recessed?
Perhaps, but I've busted a few by trying to rotate 'stiff' things with them - something they're not designed to do!
Are you talking about my wheel nut cover? I don't really know what you mean by "might turn a small screw". The things on my car are literally just machine screws with flat-topped round heads with four small holes drilled into them. When in place, the whole head is recessed into the cover, so one cannot get grips or suchlike onto the head.
I don't think you can make any protrude?
