You can call me a NOOB to because I had exactly the same issue taking mine apart and ended up using a dremel...

Crap...... the rest of them were loctited so hard I had to use all my strength to both push in the screwdriver and twist at the same time to get them removed. Whata pain, someone in China put on WAAAY to much loctite at the HPI factory, Grr.......

And you guys acted like it was my fault when I had that happen on mine last year......
If your going to rebuild factory HPI diffs, you better have at least one new cup available....

No idea why HPI likes to mix hex and phillip headed screws in kits. Go all hex, damnit (and Losi/Horizon, just go metric, ok?!).
