   The vinyl shutters that i am experienced with have two fastener options,
   The first is a simple phillips head screw (usually not a hard grade steel and will likely break or strip when you try to remove, try with a hand held screw driver to loosen a couple turns before using a powered screw gun. If they break, take down shutter, and remove the remaining with a vice grip locking plier.

   The second fastener is simply a vinyl expanding plug that can be removed with a small flat bar or an automotive bodymans ‘spoon’
   Support either with a block of wood so you dont crack the shutter
   Good Luck
