Don't attempt to remove them with a flat head screw driver. You need to drill them out.

Got them out with the screwdriver and a pair of scissors. Where there's a will there's a way!

Well there's a first time for everything . I would have gone with the drill method. Did you manage to put it all back together after?

Maybe it's just misunderstanding - I found some people wrongly recognize push-on plastic clips as rivets.
