Slot. So bent flat bladed driver will work. Or, one of those 1/4" drive short slot screw drivers. Don't use it in the handle, rather hold it with vise grips or better yet 1/4" socket and 1/4" ratchet wrench. 

If you find that tightening the screw doesn't fix things then what is going on is that the latch to glass connection is loose. So unscrew that screw, watch out for spring when you take the moveable part of latch off, then tighten fixed portion to glass. I think it's a hex socket headed screw, or might be Phillips. But that's easy to access
