Unscrewing a stubborn screw

Hi everyone, I am trying to burp my hydraulic disc brakes but can't get my reservoir open! I broke 1 flathead screw driver trying to get the screw out. I tried wd40 but it still isn't budging. I'm not using a philips head because it will most likely strip the screw. Any ideas?

Try turning it to tighten it, just to break the "seal". I do this on stubborn car related screws/bolts. You'll hear a little click, then undo. And use a correct sized /type screwdriver to get a better hold on the screw0

Are you sure the screw head isn't already stripped? If not, the answer should be having the right size screwdriver.0
