How do I unscrew the phone?

I do not have any problems with the device itself but I had a question regarding the Pro Toolkit. The P2 Pentaloob screw head is slightly too small for the phone (I believe), yet it is the recommended tool. Do I have to purchase a P3 separately in order to open iPhones? Or is this just a product of mass-production, in where I got a slightly larger Screw head? Thank you!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I don't think there are different sizes of pentalobe screws on iPhones.

According to this, P2 is the proper size.

If you do go with a larger size, be careful, as it may strip the screw, if it hasn't been already.

Could it be the screwdriver itself is worn?

I suppose so. The kit is new and freshly opened but it seems the tip isn’t how it should be. Is there someway I could contact ifixit to ask for a replacement or where to buy that specific bit?
