I guess I should, huh? Crazy....
Glad you got the screw out. While I can see why they are required for use in public machines, they are just an annoyance when you have them in your house. :)

Pretty soon were gonna be walkin around with a set of security tools in our pockets to pay for our own little arcades ;)

Personally, I would just centerpunch the center and drill it out if I didn't have the security bit. The bit would cost as much as the time drilling it.

I wouldn't recommend center punching the screws on older sticks.
You are real liable to crack the plastic.
It gets brittle with age, and will crack VERY easily.
You CAN drill them out, but use the existing hole for a guide if you do.
