Are you sure you have located the correct screws?, To access the securing screws the steering wheel needs to be turned through 180degrees. If you can lift the front wheels off the ground that helps and takes the strain off the power steering rack. If they are Torx screws,cant remember,then yes they have an outer edge and as they are recessed into the underside of the unit the correct size screwdriver is needed to access them. HTH.
