Hi,

Any creative tips for removing screws whose heads have nothing to
catch? These are neither regular or Phillips Head screws. They have
a special bit, kind of in the shape of a square. Anyway, the inside
of the head is now a round, smooth circle.

Any ideas for removing them would be appreciated.

Almost certainly Robertson screws:

They're actually pretty good. You can easily find the
special screwdrivers and/or bits to fit them. Even
the big box stores usually have some.

But if they're rounded, your best bet is a damaged
screw remover. Sears sell them:

Don't pay the regular price unless you need it right
now -- they seem to mark them down to $4.99 or $9.99
on almost every sale event. Worth buying a set at
that price. They work more often than not although
it's not a perfect solution.
