A proper timing plug tool makes the job of removing a stubborn plug much easier. They were never really meant to have a standard screwdriver used on them as the groove is curved on the bottom. See the attached picture for the Motion Pro part number of the tool if you're interested.

If you do have to resort to using a screwdriver, some fine emery cloth wrapped, gritty side out, around the tip of a nice sharp straight blade screwdriver that is just short of filling the width of the slot, and occupies about 2/3 the length of the slot, used centered in the length for a deep enough "bite", will often get it done without unduly marring the plug. That said, the proper tool is far better.
