 I've been doing something similar with some ex-dental tools. The straight pointy probe one will wedge into that little hole well enough to get the screw started and run in but of course I have to swap for a real screwdriver to finish the task.

You know the ones with the hole in the middle used on 
telephone/telegraph type plugs.  I was just faced with getting those 
little things back in the jack where they belonged. Somewhere in the 
warehouse (aka garage that hasn't seen a car in 30 years) I have the 
righteous screw driver that was acquired back when I was gifted the 
plugs.  Of course it wasn't in the box of plugs.

I discovered that the pointy thing (awl?) included in a promotional 
jeweler's screw driver set worked fairly well in getting those little 
rascals started.to where you can switch to a normal small screw driver.  
And now after the fact I'm thinking perhaps a round tooth pick might 
also work, maybe even better.
