Some of you may know that my HDD is a 20 GB one, with not much space left, so I have to micro-manage my game data.
Naturally, I want to upgradeit to a much bigger one, but it seems that I wasted the screws ! 
Any suggestions ?
It seems that I just can't unscrew them, no matter how hard I try. Is there any kind of tool that could be used in here ? I'm thinking of taking the whole PS3 to a computer repair shop to see if they can unscew it for me.

Well, I got a 60 gig and I have so much space because I never bothered to use it much.

Oh wow, you definitely stripped those screws good.
I had one of my screws stripped, but that was only after I managed to remove the HDD from its housing, so it was only a matter of power-tooling it off with some scary sounding blades.
So yeah... I'd go consult a professional about that. Good luck with it, buddy. Here's hoping that you can upgrade from 20GB into something a little more spacious soon

20GB? Damn, that's not very much space at all for a PS3. How many GB are you planning on getting with the new HDD?

N-Real, you should be able to use a good pair of needle nose pliers or leather man's tool. to unscrew them. As shallow as those screws go it might work.
