Getting a 1940's Gillette Aristocrat Junior England Made

They are a lovely razor.
 
Okay, so if my memory serves the head of these screws are deeper on the outside of the fastener, think the opposite of a standard Phillips head they also have a left hand thread.

I also grab an Aristocrat from gumtree yesterday. It includes a case, and the plating is great according to the age from the razor. However, the one of the door is slightly bent and I assume the bottom screw head is stripped. Any chance to take is apart?

I think its an Aristocrat #16

It is not a No16 but an Australian Set No 15 -

As @Ferret619 said the screws are basically the reverse of a phillips head. I made one that sort of worked by taking a flat head and filing a "V" into the middle of it. Not sure that would work with that one.

Do you have pics of where the door is 'bent'?
 
Unfortunately I cannot zoom in on the second picture BUT if it is just that arm bent you might be able to straighten without dismantling the whole razor
 
strategic prying gets the doors off.
No need to disassemble
