But since we are talking sewing machines here, one trick to try is after you've let it soak with penetrating oil, as you are putting pressure down and turning, tap the end of the screwdriver with a small ball peen hammer.
just watch out for the light...

I love the Harbor Freight little ratchet set.
I bought 2.
They work soooo well.

I have found coins, dime, quarter even better to loosen screws as they are low and don't run into machine. What ever size fits the slot good works good.
