Get a drill bit the size of the threaded part (the shank) and drill the head off. Or you could take the rest of the screws out and just break the part around that screw, the rest of the screws should hold the cover on adequately. Or, go to play-asia.com and buy a controller for around 30 bucks ;)

Can you link me to a place where I can find a Drill bit of that size?

Well, I don't know the size, but if you already have one of the screws out, take it to Sears or some hardware store and ask the guy that works there to help you with what size you would need to drill one out. Or maybe he'll have a better idea if you explain what you're trying to do. People in hardware stores are generally veryy helpful.

If you want a size, I am fairly certain a 40 gauge drill bit will work. The reason I'm sure is because I'm a mechanic.
