I second vampliers or their twin Engineer brand that has way more variants and other tools (I think they are the same company). Found them looking to find a cheaper vamplier that doesn't exist 😀. I use my Engineer PZ-59 like linesman pliers and PZ-58 small linesman looking, more than any other ...well maybe I'm using the even smaller ESD electrical ones just as much lately. I also found a pair of Knipex that are similar that work beautifully no. 82 01 200 they grab excellently tip or side and have a fine adjustment slip joint build that locks vertically in ~4mm increments of total jaw open width when closed....similar to a water pump / channel lock jaw position adjustment but forward and not in grooves but adjusting the hinge point wider or narrower. Look em up OP, I love mine. Otherwise theres ALWAYS the old standby that eats fasteners for lunch but gets the job done...ol trusty vise grips (heck I made my first vamplier style out of an old vise grip using a thin diamond ignition file and many parallel cuts like teeth but offset opposing teeth. It still works great too. GL with your screw and hope I gave you some helpful leads.
