That screw with the slot you have been trying to turn is a bolt. You
will see there is a six-sided nut attached to it. This is what holds
the faucer on and what you have to turn.

With a flat blade screwdriver keeping the threaded part from
turning, unscrew the hex nut. When the half moon part comes free,
lift out the faucet (provided you've disconnected the hoses).

That second photo makes me so glad I don't have a center hole style faucet
in my bathroom or kitchen - trying to cram all those hoses into that thing
and then trying to fix it if one of them leaks - no thanks.
