EZE OUT bits in a drill.
ONE WAY screws; similar to those used in public bathrooms are as easy to remove as any other using the proper tool.

AHH AN ADD ON. I just re-read your Q. NAILS??? certainly claw hammer??? I've been on the planet a long time; and rarely run across NAILS and SCREWDRIVERS in the same context.

Nails are difficult to remove with a screw driver. They don't seem to have a slot most times. Irritating to say the least. And screws can be difficult to drive in with a hammer too. Those thread thingies seem to slow it down when you hit it with the hammer. I don't know why someone can't invent something easier to use. I wonder how carpenters ever get anything done with these things.

This may not be a fix to your problem but it surely fixed mine. I got out my tap and hammered the head of the screw further in to the wall and then used plaster over it to patch the wall rather than making a huge hole attempt to take something out that was not meant to come back out. Best of luck.

Use a hammer and pull it out. Then put somthing over the hole like a picture mirror ect. or patch it up so nobody can tell there is a hole in the wall.

Claw hammer. Drill them out. Cut out the wood round them with a chisel so you can get a better purchase.

I use left handed drill bits. I got mine at harbor Freight for a song. They work great. Chuck them in tight and put your drill in reverse and they will grab that screw and back them right out!

why do you need a screw driver to take a nail out

There are screw extractors available at your local hardware store. Also Sears has some that Bob Vila has been touting.
