Default Rear bumpercaps wont come off.....

Okay, im trying to prep my rear bumper to paint but i cant seem to get the top bolt off of the bumpercaps. seems a little plastic square thing is supposed to let me get it off but all it does is spin and spin and spin.....and spin and spin some more....Is there a secret password? For the life of me i cant understand why they would put together a plastic piece with a metal bolt.....just doesnt make sense to me.
