I started to strip one of the heads trying to get it out. I noticed the 2 screws that are stuck are located towards the middle of the fixture instead of on the ends like all the other fixtures. Anyone know why these 2 screws might be stuck and the best way to remove them?
Hi Brad,

Most of the TM screws are square head. are you using a square driver? It is possible to use a larger phillips screw driver, when the screws are new, but if they are hard to remove, the little bits (corners) that are being grasped by the philips blades are probably wearing out...
