Can't remove trackpad from upper body

I was following this guide and hit a snag when I got to step 10: MacBook Unibody Model A1278 Trackpad Replacement. The triwing y0 screwdriver is too big to remove the six screws securing the trackpad to the upper body.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does a smaller triwing screwdriver even exist?

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

iFixit says a Y0 tri-wing will work for this but it's big for these tiny screws. I use a Y000 but they're very hard to find. Here's the only one I know of: http://youfutools.en.alibaba.com/product...
