Yes, I've done the same thing. Many carbs I've seen where the needle seat removal slot is so messed up you can't get hold of it. What I eventually did is buy one of those HUGE slot-head screwdrivers, even the cheapies from China work well. Than grind the end back until the taper finally fits the slot. Then grind two little 90 degree notches in the outside edge of the blade so that the center part of the screwdriver end drops slightly into the recess in the needle seat. That way it won't slide out sideways when you're twisting on the handle. Holding the cast body firmly is difficult, a big vise with a lot of cloth packing will work but a guy's gotta be careful.
