From your pic, it appears to be in the shape of a figure 8. If yes, that is called clutch head. GM used back in the 50's for all the trim screws. I have a complete set of screwdrivers from Matco and a couple from Snap-on. I believe Matco discontinued making them over 10 years ago. I can not find them in the Snap-on catalog.

If you can't find a driver and just want to remove and replace them. Then take a Dremel and carefully cut a slot all the way across and use a flathead to remove them. And I do mean CAREFULLY! :wink:
