Any /diy/ idea on how to get this sucker open without buying the specific bit?

If you're wondering what it is, it's a nintendo 64 cartridge's security screws.

I've had luck getting them open using two screw pointing in opposite directions. Good luck putting it back though.

Use a a dremel to cut a slot in it, then open it with a flathead screwdriver. Alternatively melt a pen and push it onto the screw while still melted, I've had varying success with this method.

Honestly, its much easier just having a set of security screws/bits laying around.

I opened a torx before with a flat head, it has to fit exactly along the slot

It also ended up chipping the flathead

ALL OF THESE SUGGESTIONS ARE STUPID.
OP LISTEN TO ME

simply take a bic pen, just a little cheap one, heat up the end with a lighter. shove it into the bit hole and press firmly and let it cool, keep it in place.
then pop it out and you have your very on screw driver.

Heat up a plastic pen (take the ink out first) with a lighter then stick the end into the hole so it melts to the shape of the screwhead.
