Top screws...pull the tank and get a driver that fits... (I used a micro impact setup) ...no sweat...

Bottom screws...after reading all the headaches of others, I decided to get several lengths of quality phillips bits (that fit!) and then took a piece of maple stock and drilled several countersinks at different depths and locations (experiment here) ...then a little cheapie 1/4" ratchet that the bits go in, and, slide THROUGH.
Now, you can pick the bit, slide it in the cheapie ratchet, pick a counter sink hole for the base of the bit, and pry up with the maple stick off any convenient bit of motor, slide the ratchet to your best hand position... and they pop right out.
With this rig you can get perfectly straight up pressure, and all the torque you need. Just use bits that fit...

...or plan B...have the dealer put in your allen heads and save the chunk of maple for the firebox :-D ...Billy
