I need to remove the driver's side door panel t on my SLK R171 2007 to access the window control unit. So I've followed the instructions on how to do this from SLK world and youtube but I'm stuck on how to remove one bolt.

Under the armrest there is a very small flap cut into the door panel and I can feel a screw in there but am not able to see it. I assumed it would be a Torx or if not a Philips threaded screw. But I can't get screwdrivers for either of these types of bolt to marry into the screw head. So I can't undo it and this is all that's stopping me get the door off.

Anyone have any ideas on how to undo it without taking it to a mechanic? The other door bolts are Torx size 15 but this bolt doesn't seem to be the same.
