well other than your fingers or a screwdriver probably the only other tool that would help is a wrench. But frankly you are probably better off just finding another screwdriver that's the right size and using that to remove.

Pliers might work to untighten the thumbscrews. I might not try this if they are plastic on the ends though because they might break.

A few options:
Stronger fingers
The right size screwdriver
Pliers, gently
Magic

I have a Leatherman Skeletool and I have yet to meet a computer I can't disassemble with just that. Sometimes it's not pretty but it works. Pliers and two screwdrivers(one of each) are the minimum tools every person should have laying around in a drawer somewhere, with their scissors, although I suppose scissors are a tool too.
