Tip should not be conical - or rather not wedge-shaped - to avoid it "jumping" out of the screw slot. Takes a bit of patience and a steady hand, but nothing one can't achieve in 10 minutes.
The screws are not too tight: gold being quite a soft material, it would easily be damaged by undue force. On the other hand, being soft a gold screw does not have the same tendency as hardened steel to "slip" out by itself.

OK...I know some will say you get two screw drivers and twist...but in my long years I have learned that nothing is as it seems...18K gold is not so hard so the screw drivers need to be an exact fit....but while we assume it is right hand thread...who kno...
