Mmmm,not a fan of e-z outs ,their ok to use on bikes,cars etc but the"tap of a hammer" can ,if not administered by someone in the know..like yourself Rooster
,just make the prob. worse.He doesn't say where the screw is or what its fitted to/holding together so the methods Philip and myself gave,while not being the most technical "may" be slightly easier on the marker as hammers anywhere near markers in the hands of the inexperienced makes me wince and I wouldn't recomend drilling it out himself either.
Like the beer ploy though and your'e spot on about Allen key sizing

Good point on the Tap of a hammer thing! I should have gone on to say "Use common sense when it comes to the TAP of the Ol' hammer! But as said before I can get it out without damage to the MARKER! For some beer that is!

Allen keys come in 2 sizes - Imperial or Metric. You need to buy a set of both.
You can get them in B&Q etc in the UK.

If you are buying allen keys make sure you buy some decent ones like bondhus, snap on, etc at least that way you know they will fit properly.
You can get good quality allen keys at a very reasonable price from www.jlindustrial.co.uk phone 0800663355
I got a complete set of bondhus metric and imperial ball ended for a tenner + vat and p+p... bargain
