Default Swatch watch: taking out links

I was given a very nice Swatch watch for Christmas,
but the metal strap is much too long.
It has links which as far as I can see
are held by very small screws -
the heads, which are countersunk, are less that 1mm in diameter.
I tried to open them with a tiny screwdriver
in a set for mending glasses, but this was about twice too big.

Has anyone come across this problem?
If so, what is the solution?
