I've actually been lucky enough to find some clutchhead screwdrivers.  My
local hardware store carries them in three sizes.  Chevy Duty also sells a
set of 3 sizes for about $15.  Your local hardware store should be able to
get you some clutchhead screwdrivers, if you need a different size from
the ones Chevy Duty carries. 

But I hate it when I find a clutchhead screw that a PO has used a Philips'
head driver on...
