Yeah, those screws are very un-Toyota like. Spray some WD40 to soak them for a while before you unscrewe them.

When I replaced mine I had the same problem. I took the car to a local tire store (where I'd purchased in the past) and they removed all the screws for no charge. The car looks MUCH better!
