I won't ask why you have rust developing in your MPC but you might wanna try some small needle nose pliers.

You mean the big cross-head screws on the side & bottom?!?! Someone has treated those pretty bad to have messed up their heads! Maybe if you could get some lubricant like WD40 into the holes it might help. I wouldn't spray it directly onto the MPC but spray a bit into an ashtray or jar lid & then paint it around the screw heads with a brush or cotton bud. It will help clean the rust too...
Try using a slightly larger sized screwdriver.......& make sure you are using a crosshead one..... if the one you are using isn't getting a grip the next size up might.
Also, although not common with MPCs this must be a really common situation generally, that screw heads get messed up like this. There must be solutions that don't need precision engineering tools. Try looking in a bookstore or library for one of those massive "how to do everything" DIY manuals, or find a forum for that kind of thing....there must be hundreds.
