   I've got this great little Milwaukee angle drive unit for such situations. Only $24.95 and you can get a set of hex drive drill bits for pretty cheap. Hex drive vix bits are also available.

                     dovetail ,                        This happens from time to time, a sharply pointed awl , and a short screwdriver , yes by hand . Try a bit of parrafin on the threads of the screws. good luck

   Ken, I have used a tap wrench, the ratchet type works best to drill the pilot holes. Then a phillips bit can be inserted in the tap wrench to turn the screws.Try driving the screws without drilling, might save you some time.
