Default How to unscrew power extension lead box ?

I want to unscrew the box containing 4 or 6 3-pin sockets
in order to put in a longer lead.
(Actually it is a 6-socket box with surge protection,
and they only seem to come with 2 metre leads.)

The bolts or screws holding the box together
seem to be of a special type that cannot be turned
with a normal screwdriver.
Is there any way of opening these boxes
short of drilling out these screws?
