Huh. That screw is not a brake cable fine adjust. It's the centering screw which should not be used, see below.

Turning the key CW, rotates BOTH arms CCW. Turn the key CCW, rotates BOTH arms CW.
Good Luck
You don't need an allen key to do this method.

Edited: Ultegra SL 6600-G brake calipers are supposed to have a centering bolt somewhere. When something's spring-bound, I don't want to end up with a mess. Need help!
Do NOT use the centering screw. The only thing you are doing is
1) yes you're centering but more importantly
2) you're decreasing the spring tension
With dual pivoits, all you have to do is grab the caliper with your hand and physically move it. It is NOT necessary for pads to touch at the same time.
