I think that the screwdriver is used to push back the piston AFTER you have removed the pads. Trying to insert a screwdriver between the rotor and the pad is not something I have ever attempted. Remove the pads by drifting out the pins and then pull the pads out. I usually find that the pads are quite tight and have to use a metal bar in the hole where the pins go to lever them out.
I don't use a screwdriver to push back the piston as it may jam the piston; I use a piston retraction tool.
