Don't go pulling your passenger side dash to bits. Simply use wd40 or similar lubricant along the top edge of dash spear & let it drip into the top recesses those 5 (square head) bolts occupy on the the back of the dash spear. Leave it an hour & do it again. Then withdraw the dash spear sideways! towards the passenger door, do NOT pull the spear towards you. The slotted plastic on back of spear will slide off the square head bolts. Putting in on is the reverse but way more trickier to line up the square head bolts. If you are going to pull dash apart to do this quick job the old way, don't overtighten the 5 nuts, you'll simply break the spear or the the plastic bolt head tabs. Hope this helps.
