I took my Demel and ground three side of an allen wrench. Works great!

Take a dremel with a cutoff wheel and slot the screws. Use a flat blade screwdriver!

Kinda tight fit to get to some of those screws with
most Dremels. If you do the tool you only have to
customize it, not every screw? You can also look
online for the correct tool, try HarborFreight.com? :eusa_think:

I have the socket in 1/4 inch drive for anti-theft screws. These screws were used in the late 60s on gas cap trim rings on Chargers and on later model radios and cd players. I've got 55 of the screws NOS.
