Try a magnet on a string. Drop it in about the same spot, a week later pull out the magnet. Hopefully the screws will slide past the magnet or magnet will slide past the screws and catch them.

I did that for one screw. It drove me friggin nuts.

Interestingly, I ended up replacing my heater core about 8 months later. I found the little bugger in the process.

Took much theropy and a few drinks to regain my sanity.
