Never had that happen myself and I now use an ignition tool, but the big "mama-jamma" Craftsman screwdriver that everybody has works pretty good too. 

Don't force anything if it won't turn easily.

While back guy had a video on you tube on using a copper pipe he made & how to do it. Worked slick! The tool is cheap from Georges Garage.

These tools are common on ebay too.  The same one fits up through 2013.  '14-later is different.
