Hi All,
  Thanks everyone for your all suggestions.I dressed the tips of my 
Xcelite 99PS-60 set and there are 4 and 6 slot.My GC 5028 set has both 
4 and 6 slot.I never knew that!
  So the 4 slot worked fine and all knobs removed without difficulty.(It 
helps to have good eyesight which I lack!).

Are you sure they are not Bristol Spline? There are both 4 and 6 slot
Bristols in some sizes.
