The screws that hold the end caps # 853-2181 can be pretty tight. You may try spraying the screw with a lubricant like WD40 to help release it. The thicker the grip is on your screwdriver the more leverage on the screw you will have.
I have been able to get tough screws out before pretty easily by just switching to a thicker gripped screwdriver.
