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.

Thanks in advance.

Take a spare Robertson bit and shorten it by a small amount
leaving sharp corners. The bit is tapered so that it should also
be a slight bit larger and impossible to bottom out completely.

Next take your special made bit and attach it to a impact driverhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_driver

You can also, sometimes, tap them around with a small chisel util you
can get pliers or some kind of vise-grip tool onto them?
Sounds like someone has 'screwed up' (excuse the pun) some either Torx
or Roberstson screw heads. When replacing use something that you have
drivers for.
