The only time this is likely to happen is if the screw has reached the end of thread - i.e. it might already be out. Are you sure it's not a captive screw and stays in the drain cover? I assume you're comparing it to the other ones in the cover?

Thanks, yep both screws are meant to unscrew fully as I've unscrewed it before. I can lift one half of the drain cover but the part with the screw in is stuck still.

In which case everything you're trying sounds right. It'll be interesting to see what has happened to it. Time to look for the least destructive way to get past it.
