Had the same problem with the carb on my '89 Festiva. At the time I clapped a pair of heavy fencing pliers around the head of the screw and gave it a pull to get the screw started, then it came out with the screw driver. Today I would spray with WD-40 or penetrating oil and tap with a hammer first. I'd try that 3-4 times waiting a couple of hours between applications, and if it didn't work then get out the pliers. I'm not sure how long a person should wait between applications of penetrating solvent, maybe someone else reading the newsgroup would know.
