a special screwdriver isn't required; that blue screw is just a horrid little s.o.b. i had plenty of trouble getting it out when i replaced the hd in my console too. i ended up using an eyeglass screwdriver pressing from the top with one hand to keep it tight, then using a pair of pliers to turn it. pain in the butt, but i got it eventually. good luck
