I used the biggest Phillips driver that would fit through the hole. There's no screwing involved, the driver is only used as a lever so you could use anything (round steel stock?) that fits. Just put the lever into the hole and angle it backward - toward the centre of the door - against the hole sides and hinge edge. A thin driver/lever will likely mangle the hinge cover hole as it's only a soft alloy.. The resulting torque should cause the hinge cover to flex and the two lugs (left-hand side of the photos above) should just pop off.
I removed four of mine without difficulty. I have subsequently had cause to remove another one and found it a little trickier to remove but it's off ...
