I am trying to take out the side latch pivot retaining screw on a 1897 Winchester shotgun.
Some one sometime has boogered the screw with regular screwdriver and i cant get a god bite on it as the sides arent parralel anymore. Slot is only .100 wide and maybe .030 thick. I have broken one bit when i managed to keep it snug.
Id like to fully dissassemble this as it is gummed up something awful and Im hoping thats why the hammer follows the bolt unless you work it real slow like.
heres the pic
