Try using a nice sharp 1/4" wide wood chisel. You should be able to force the sharp edge under the head and use the beveled side of the chisel as a fulcrum to pry upward. Place the beveled side of the chisel against the bakelite and the flat side of the chisel against the underside of the fasteners' head. You only need to pry the fastener up enough to get a grip on the head with your needle nose. From there, use your needle nose to pull up with a twisting motion in a (IIRC) counter clockwise direction.
