Having problems w/5200 faceplates

Ok, I just got a new 5200 and a spiffy new faceplate to put on. I took off the rubber tabs and bought a size 000 screwdriver from Sears. I still can't get the screws out. I went back and tried buying a 0000 at Sears and it won't work either. I'm worried I'm going to strip the screws if I keep trying. Anyone have any helpful tips?

My best advice is not to do it. The main reason is that you will void your warranty the second you remove the original faceplate.
