My cleat is stuck in my pedal

Afternoon all.

I've recently taken delivery of my new road bike after not having one for a few years. All is good but I had an issue yesterday and was hoping for some advice. 

When I finished my ride I couldnt get one of my shoes/cleat out of the pedal. On closer examination one of the fixing screws had fallen out. I ended up unscrewing my shoe from the cleat but I couldnt get enough force to get the cleat out of the pedal, even after losening the tension screws.

An internet search advised me that I would need a screwdriver and brute force and ignorance to get it out, but it also warned me to wear safety goggles as the cleat could well come flying out at top speed.

I was wondering if anyone had any other advice abotu getting the cleat out the pedal or is the only way to use a scredriver ?

Cheers
