Maybe the person who has removed them successfully has a different brand, not the Hunter heads we have with the small screws on top ?
Note that the small screw on top of the nozzle can be used to increase or decrease the radius or "throw" of the water stream. However, these screws are rarely used by sprinkler technicians because there are many different color-coded nozzles that produce different throw distances. Here is a Hunter video that demonstrates the use of the adjustment screw.
