Opening the ASRock 4x4 Box case

I have a barebones mini-PC kit that I want to use and I can't get the case open. There are 4 screws with 'Frearson' heads on them. The cuts in the screw heads are so shallow that no Phillips screwdriver will work on them. The screws are about 1.5-2" long and very very tight. I tried a small flathead driver and it doesn't work. I need something like a Standoff driver but without the projecting spike in the tip and with a handle long enough to give me the leverage to break an apparent loctite bond.

I wrote to ASRock support and got no response. Also called them, and called the seller. No one, even my most experienced geek friends, has been able to help. What do you recommend?

@pdavis1953 are you sure it's a Frearson? I wager it is a JIS (B 1012) :-) Check (yikes) Amazon for a long, handled screwdriver and give that a try.

The tips on those still look too pointy to do the job.

A standoff driver would work if not for the little projecting spike in the center of the tip, and I've only seen them with very short, flimsy handle.

Whatever it is has been over-overtightened to the point that I might need to use a screw extractor!
