Where this screw is, I have not been able to get my hand behind it to reach the clip. I'll keep trying, thanks!

Darn, mine was on an RT. If you can get anything behind that spring nut to jam it and stop it from turning. Just about any kind of pressure on it may help. Either pushing or pulling. Take your time and think it out. Don't rush it.

Thank you Sir, I've had the issue for some time, when I get frustrated I walk away. LOL!!!

This problem screw doesn't have a "security" head on it, does it ??
On the RT there are two on each side that are not MEANT to be unscrewed; they screw into a rubber plug which PULLS out as the final step to get the panel loose.

No sir, it's a removable panel screw, on the F3 the four panel screws have to be unscrewed.

The two forward screws on the side panels go into a brass piece that is prone to coming out if you use too much force, like power tools. Why they didn't use clips like they have on the rear two screws is beyond me.  Joe has repaired several of these, just did one on Tuesday, but he’s teaching today and won’t be looking at the site but I’ll tell him to look for this thread so he can tell you the repair method he uses.

If nothing else works, then the final straw will be drilling out the head. Start with a 1/8" bit and then go to the 1/4" bit. The head of the screw will pop off then.
