Tub is clogged. Can't remove Kohler overflow plate

[Seafood Licorice]

Hi - our tub is clogged and I was trying to see if I could remove the overflow plate to see if I can snake out any build up from there. It's a Kohler K7213-CP and has what appears to be a hex screw with a good deal of hard water calcification. I tried every wrench I had but nothing comes close to working on that screw. Any ideas of how I might get it out?

Looks like a Geberit drain from Europe. I wonder if it's a metric allen wrench you need for that.

Can you pick the deposits (looks like to me) out with a metal dental pick or small flat jeweler's screwdriver?

Thanks! I only had a US allen wrench set. I will try metric.

I will try that - I have a small screwdriver that might work. Very difficult to see what's going on in there based on the angle.

Thanks for your help with the model number...to remove that cap you need a 2.5 mm hex wrench. A regular screw would have been best but why make it easy for us novices.
