i am not too, familiar with that player, but are the screws on the surface or "imbedded" into the players casing? because if they were on the surface you could try a vice grip like tool, or a hack saw to make it a flat head bit...

You might be able to use epoxy to fill in the head of the bolt except for a slot.  This might permit the use of a flathead screwdriver.
