MacBook Air 2013 bottom screw size P4 or P5?

I'm confused about the size of the bottom plate pentalobe screws for the 2013 MacBook Air. On this site it is referred to as size P5 (IPR5, TS5), but on other sites it says that MacBook bottom screws are size P4 (IPR4, TS4). What size is it really? I bought an IPR5 screw driver, but it doesn't seem to fit; it does look like I need one size smaller.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The answer is the MacBook Air 2013 bottom case screws are P4 (IPR4, TS4) and not as stated on this website P5! I first bought a Wiha IPR5, but it was too big. I then ordered a Wiha IPR4 and it was a perfect fit.

Well, thanks for nothing iFixit for giving the wrong information! Now I spent too much money.

This is because ifixit uses their own parts numbers instead of industry standards so you have to purchase from them.
