It's a brand new mini grease gun. Need to remove a slot screw to

Did you try a screwdriver that actually fits the slot? Or some little
bent, chipped, twisted, rusty thing that you inherited from my father?
Once you have the right driver, put an open-end or adjustable wrench on
the handle (or on the shaft if it's square) for increased torque.

Turn the driver with one hand, and push the driver into the screw with
the other hand and maybe a goodly portion of your body weight. Priority
is to keep the driver from slipping out of the slot. You don't want to
have the driver slip out of the slot and mar the slot into a shape that
lets the driver slip out more easily.
