My recollection is that it is the usual righthand threads.

I assume you've tried PBlaster or some penetrant?

In addition to turning it with a screwdriver using the slot in the head I
think there are also 2 flats on each side of that head that will take a
wrench (7/16"?).  A wrench (if you haven't tried that yet) will give you a
lot more torque (or whatever it is that moves bolts).
