I need to remove the headgear from my dripping hot tap in the bathroom which was fitted circa 1999 I have taken the plastic cap off and then faced with a screw head I do not recognise it is neither a flat head or a phillips and if I try to losen with a phillips (closest fit) it just keeps grinding the top of it and I'm worried that I will cross thread. Help!!!

Some taps are designed to release excess pressure but it could just be a dodgy tap washer that leaks when the pressure of hot water in pipe work builds. Change the tap washer in your tap, see if it fixes it, if not it's just the design.
you wont cross thred it all you will do is grind away the head of the screw and then you will never get it out, i know the screw your talking about it looks like a phillips but its not a phillips,,,it a No8 bit! you need to get a kit of bits to undo this screw,,,i wonder who thinks thees screws up???
i'm not to familer with this particular make but , it'll be under the handle controling the hot water. just pop off the handle and change out the cartrage
you need to replace the washer on the hot and cold stems along with the seats. The stems are connected to the handles. Once you remove the handles you should see a place where a wrench would fit. This unscrews the stem which has the washer connected to it. Remove this washer and take it to the nearest home improvement center they will give you the right size washer. The seat is what the washer seals to inside the actual faucet. This seat is removed by a seat removing tool, also purchased at a home improvement store. Once you remove the seat take it to the store and they will get you replacements. Installation is the reverse of the way you removed the seats notheing special.
There is a handle limit stop under the handle. Remove the handle with an allen wrench and you should see a plastic piece with a tab on it fit into the assembly. Remove it and rotate it slightly to allow more travel in the handle and reinsert. You will have to test it to see if it allows enough hot water to mix in. If it is still not warm enough repeat as needed. Once you have the water at a comfortable temperature reinstall the handle and enjoy.
