I'm assuming the screwdriver would be a metal one. It would let you turn the 
slug but you would have to use it with care as it could damage the top of 
the slug. Also the metal screwdriver can affect the inductance of the 
inductor and throw off the adjustment.

Your safest option is to shave a little off each side of the plastic tuning 
tool to make it fit. You shouldn't need to shave much off it to make it fit.
