Last time I needed to open a cabinet with these "child-proof" screw
heads, I used an old carpenter's compass. This is very much like a
navigators compass (sic) used to "walk" measurements on charts, but is
of course much sturdier. You could possibly find one of these at your
local old-fashioned hardware store.

Plan B would be to use a small pipe wrench (unless the heads are
recessed of course :).

The fishhook remover on a Fisherman Swiss Army knife (the two pins at
the end of the scaler) fit into most of the two pin security screws.
It's the only use I've found for that blade.
