hit it a bit, use a tighten then loosen action, if that fails then use a impact screwdriver. Draper 81519 Impact Screwdriver Set 6Pc: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Sounds stupid, but are you using a screw driver which actually fits the screw head?

lol, dont sound stupid, it's not a bad size but not spot on for the screw.

i havn't got a load of sizes tho. buying a cheap set will just chew the driver up reguardless andand can't afford a decent set at the moment.
