That just a metal piece that help hold down the bumper? 4 or 5 bolt/plastic holding it down.

try a spatula or a wooden spoon. be sure to apply lots of peanut butter so you dont scratch your paint.

screw heads? or bolt heads? you should have large flat screw heads. I always just use vise grip locking pliers

Those are a pain. I normally use a Impact driver (The type you hit with a hammer) and it normally works. Spray with WD-40 for a few days before messing with it if you have the time. If the heads break off just drill em and use screw extractor.
