I tried giving them a little extra pressure and took it slowly, but I could see/feel that the head was nice and tight, and the philips head driver was rounding the head even more, ever so slightly. I had to back off...I took a look at it, and any more would've surely rounded it out. Fug!! It figures it was the shift side bowl/float I was trying to open...the one that is most likely stuck, which was suggested to me before...by Uncle Snake.
