Default 2006 RX330 - replacing battery in key

My 2006 RX330 is five years old, and I want to replace the battery in the key (wireless remote). The problem is that I cannot remove the screw that attaches the cover to the key. The screw is "frozen" and the head is so small that it is impossible to apply much torque. I tried using "Liquid Wrench" but that did not help. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Use the right tool, try and try again. Be patient.
