I believe the name for the proper tool for this is a "Pin Spanner."  These are
available from automotive tool sources.  They look something like pliers, but
with pins on the tips facing to the side of the tool. These are engaged in the
holes, and the threaded washer will spin right out - unless it is _really_
tight, in which case the pins will snap off!

Liquid wrench might help, but be sure you clean it off completely, or it will
discolor most plate finishes, or cause problems when the plate is refinished.
