Its hard to tell from the photo - are you saying the rectangular section is not a slot but rather is a raised ridge?If it turns easily, try getting a bamboo skewer and slot the end of it with a scalpel.
Just do a search on "security screwdriver set" - there are plenty of these available online and at hardware & electronics store.I've attached a picture of part of my set and the bits that you are probably after (or are they too big? - hard to tell from your photo).Bit sizes shown are: 3, 4 and 6mm across.
I have those bits and the small one might work in a pinch...
What sucks deeply is the people who make those surface mount pots don't make an adjustment tool.
I'm not sure I'm parsing the photo correctly, but don't you just need the negative impression of a regular flat bladed screwdriver? If so that seems common enough, I have at least one in my toolkit,and this trim kit has them:https://www.circuitspecialists.com/8pk-a001.html

QuoteWhat sucks deeply is the people who make those surface mount pots don't make an adjustment tool. Indeed! Either they're thinking 'I'm right Jack, I've got my tool' or they expect you to return the unit for service (and not wanting you to do it!). If you can't find the right tool, I think sleemanj and Ian.M's solutions would work well without too much effort. Edit: Just found this tool (crap picture so I'm not positive it is what you want but you could contact them to find out). http://www.barnoelec.com/63doendhexto.html
Ah now I understand! This competition is harder to win than a keysight giveaway
