Removing front bumper trim piece?

I've got the grill off and am installing the Mopar light bar (123220RR) and for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove these two plastic fasteners that hold the trim piece in place. They are slotted for a phillips but are so soft they are easily stripped out, when I can get a grip all they do is turn but don't come out.

How are these supposed to be removed?

Ive never done this, but on other threads that talk about taking trim off. you need to have a little up pressure on that tab/screw. They talk about using a small flat-head screwdriver pushed under the side and you slowly unscrew that fastener.

Thanks - tried that but they strip out so easily they won't hardly turn. I'm thinking of just tearing them out and replacing them.

That's exactly what I ended up doing - I spent more time trying to get those two fasteners off than I did getting the whole light bar mounted.

I wish I knew the part number for those things so I could just order them online but I don't so I'll have to go to the dealer and pick up a couple of them.

FYI: I found the part number for these "Push Pins" in case it helps anyone else out - Mopar 6502625.

Looking at the diagram of one sure helps to understand how it works.
