Some may have a single hex screw holding it’s handle in place. If the faucet has two knobs each knob may be held in place with a Phillips head screw.
But a flat head screw? Maybe to pry a cover off something, but for that you could just use a butter knife. Flat head screws are more commonly used on electrical faceplates and barely anywhere else.
I have a flathead in my plumbing bag because sometimes those funny shaped nuts are so inconveniently located the only thing that will get to it is a really frigging long screwdriver.
Though if it’s leaking…? From where? Won’t shut all the way off or the drainage or around the faucet? I need more details.
A faucet assembly contains nearly no screws.

In my experience a lot of shutoff valves on faucets, particularly shower and tub faucets, are flathead screws.
Crazy, i’m used to shutoff valves having handles.
Same here, this is weird.

Yeah I wondered the same thing.
