I bought the iFixit battery repair kit which came with a #000 Phillips screwdriver, but I could not remove the four screws in Step 11.
Has anyone who bought the same kit had better luck? Should I buy a different #000 driver?
Is this a good question?

Looks like iFixit has this driver: Phillips #000 Screwdriver
Professional #000 Philips drivers are sometime needed for tight screws. You need one that the top rotates so you can push down with one palm and turn the body of the driver with the other hand. They used to sell a better driver in the professional line so check to see that the top swivels on this driver. Ask if they still have the Pro/ ESD / USA driver model in the #000 like this one: Phillips #0 Screwdriver

iPhone screws are Phillips 00, try a 00 screwdriver.

Step 11
Remove the following screws securing the front panel assembly cable bracket to the logic board:
One 1.7 mm Phillips #000 screw
One 1.2 mm Phillips #000 screw
One 1.3 mm Phillips #000 screw
One more 1.7 mm Phillips #000 screw
Try a #00 if you want to fix your iPhone. Obviously the screwdriver you have is not appropriate for the job.
