Make sure you have a quality screwdriver - the tip of the screwdriver must be really hard-tempered steel, the sides of the tip should be parallel at the business-end, and it should fit so tightly into the slot that the screwdriver can be placed into the screw-head and not slip out when horizontal.

for adjusting these screws it is important to press the little pad closed with one hand while adjusting with the other - otherwise, you are simply creating a bigger indentation in the cork, and likely making things worse.

Try unscrewing a little, first - it may help loosen it up.
