I use a small jeweler's screwdriver.  You can buy them in a kit.  If you don't have much $$, they are also found in those eyeglass repair kits.

I took and old cheap screwdriver and cut that sucker down to size with an angle grinder.......Works like a charm.

I used to use a screwdriver bit until i bought a set of Factory Pro "Long Boy" extended mix screws.  Make adjustment of the mixture very easy (after i made a little mark on the knob so i could keep track of how many times I turn them.)

I just use a flat head bit from a multi-tool-screwdriver thingy.
