I swear that looks like a #3 to me. I had problems with a similar set of screws on my old Dyna. The issue wasn't that the screwdriver didn't fit the screw, it was that someone had put too much Loctite on it. I had to gently heat it and work slowly to get it out. One of them actually unscrewed the stud that went into the carburetor!

My Craftsman #4 Phillips screwdriver fits those screwheads like a glove.

seriously, you can't figure out how to remove that screw without destroying another tool? You will never get a "Man Card". Where do you put your gas cap at the pump?

Yes but I have removed it with that modified flathead driver. It went smooth so no harm done, also I've created a new tool by modifying an old one. There's alot of positive to that, maybe not qualifying for a man card, but surely a woman card? As long as you give plenty of that I'll be very happy
