I know the type you mean - I had an old Philips stereo which used the
same thing.  All I did was take an old thin flat-bed screwdriver, and
filed the blade down so it was just the right size to fit in one of
the 4 slots.

As long as the screws aren't fitted too tightly (which is unlikely)
then you shouldn't cause any damage to the screws.  Make sure the
blade fits really well though and don't force it too much.
