tool for dash bezel (escutcheon) nuts?

I am trying to find a tool or suitable workaround for loosening and tightening the round dash bezel nuts that hold the headlight switch (and probably some other switches I don't have) into the dash. A pic is attached, it has 4 little detents at about 5/8" diameter. I've dinged up enough dash bezels trying to do it with a screwdriver, punch, etc.

Here's hoping someone knows of something better.

orl2036; I have, on another car when I was younger, the results were not pretty. I will re-assess my abilities, I have a pair in the toolbox.

Thanks!
