They won't wind down?

Mine took a fair amount of effort to turn...

let's just say they take about 5 times as much force to change than your typical PX series bindings. I broke a screwdriver in half while adjusting mine so you might just need some more brute force

I dont know if this makes a difference but is your boot clipped in because I am pretty sure that is how you are supposed to change the heal din.

you don't have to have your boot in place to set the heel DIN, you have to rotate the heel 90° or so to set the forward pressure before you put a boot in though.

and in my experience, using a flathead screwdriver, but turning it sideways, if that makes sense, gives you the most contact with the DIN adjustment, and generally removes the risk of stripping things or chewing up your bindings too badly. like instead of 'inserting' the screwdriver into the screw like you would normally, you hold it perpendicular to the screw.

This is what I do with the toe piece. A nice large screwdriver gives plenty of leverage and you will never strip it.
