US hella ellipsoid tamper screws

[Cream]

im planning on doing the smoked ellipsoid however they have tamper proof screws in the back, i heard i have to use needle nose pliers, is there any other way to get these off? i dont want to strip them..

those are the adjusters, just pull on them the black plastic will either release the ball or it will break, releasing the ball. the plastic things are replaceable

No, he's talking about the tamper-resistant screws which hold the ellipsoids together, not the adjusters.

I used a pair of needle nose pliers, and it worked, but it's tedious.

What style tamper proof are they? You can buy tamper proof bit from just about anywhere that sells tools. Harbor freight has a bit set:
