You may find that a whack on the end of your  phillips screw driver
will help to shock it loose.. (last resort. Kinda hard on the tool
handle. Or your knuckles if you miss --- ;^) Or you could use a bit
from one of those multi drivers. Better metal to metal for the shock.
Again possibly hard on tool. Plus you could use vice grips on that bit
to provide more torque.

Make sure you use the correct size phillips.
