Goofy Question About License Plate Screws???

If that's going to be the solution, I'd rather they do it at the dealership because I still need a plate to drive there.

It's a metal holder designating my collegiate alma mater that my wife claims I paid too much for, primarily because she went to a competing school.

 

Just finished trying that, thanks.
First with a wooden wedge under the plate, trying to not scratch up the paint.
Then with a tiny-yet-forceful pry-bar between the plate and the holder. I can't get under the screw directly.

 

Had I started this endeavor last week, yes. But I don't necessarily have the tools or gumption to take it on between now and tomorrow morning.
[Edit] There were other important things like watching the eclipse and then taking the rest of the week for a vacation.
