no hammer.... screws screw in  Icon_biggrin
Ok but how do you unscrew them and screw them in? They have no groove

 Very carefully  Icon_crazy   actually you might be right about tapping them.in with a hammer. I have seen screws like that before. Does it have a head that looks like a round nail haad and are the "threads" different than it's screws? They kind of go up the screw instead of around aND around? If so then they need to be tapped in carefully.

Yeah they're drive screws.

I had good luck with a fada 80 door that used what looks like screws like these. but smaller brass ones
used angled sharp pick. pulled straight up on sides little at a time
then used pliers and twist out
taped ever so gentle with plastic faced hammer luck maybe
