you just gotta get the screwdriver on it just enough to get it off...if you can't, then maybe get some pliers on the drip rail where the screw is and bend it out of the way...I took mine off and remember a couple of them being a pain to get off, but I didn't have to bend any of them...

You can get a bottle opener and gently remove the outer stainless from the gutter. that would give you a little more room and for some of the screws, a notched access way.

I have always managed to remove them with out removing this piece, though.
