Stupid screws!

I have a 79 Schult home and the original structure has screws in it that I can not find a bit for. I have looked everywhere but of course I don't usually have one to take with me to the store, because by the time I get it out it's destroyed. I used to have a old needlenose plier that was tweeked that worked, but I've lost them.
I'm working on my closets and these screws are everywhere. Sure makes a simple project frustrating!

Weird screws on mobile homes are usually Robertson (square) or clutch (bow tie). Take a look here to see if this is what you have.

You can get them here for $1.50 plus shipping.

Thanks!! I used to have a slotted bit that fit but after a while it broke off. I will try again tomorrow with the info. I appreciate the help!! Nothing like getting totally frustrated when you are trying to accomplish something.

Check the Home centers or Sears, they should have them, possibly in a set. Greg
