Rowenta Iron - faulty cable at connection to the cover plate of the iron - unable to open the plate as the 2 retaining screws do not accept standard electrical tools - screws are star shaped recess [T25] with pin head in the centre. Any suggestions?

While it is exasperating not to be able to easily perform routine maintenance on my microwave because of these fasteners (I just want to replace the lightbulb!), I am aware that there are folks out there who may not be savvy to the risks of microwave exposure if operating the microwave unit without the proper shielding. And,yes, it is a matter of time before more people get tools to attempts this, we should all be cautious about the dangers there.
Oh, ---in full disclosure, I also now want to fix the door which is no longer popping open upon finger-tip command.
