Welp. Broke my mid screw trying to take mine out as well. What a flimsy P.O.S. Used the right T10 screwdriver. Gave it a quarter turn and it exploded.

To get it out
1. Get pissed off
2. Use a panel popping tool to slide in the driver's side seam by the mid
3. Pry really hard out and over until it pops out . Try not to mark up the bezel of the MID.

The clasps are unaffected so once the LCD is fixed it will snap right back in. To get it out it will have to pried out each time.

I'll see if the MID repair guy can fix it or at least get out the new rattling piece.
