What size screwdriver do I need for the back mounting plate?

I recently bought the $30 Kit that came with a Tripoint Y1000. It helped get the main 4 screws on the back, but not the middle ones as it was too small. So I ordered the one referenced in the guide (Y1) and it was too big. Why would they advertise a screwdriver that is incapable of getting the job done? I just need to know now if it's a Y10 or a Y100 that I need, because I am getting impatient.

Answer this question I have this problem too

A Y0 + firm pressure works fine for me. Your screws might be tighter than normal or a bit stripped, in which case you can use a piece of fabric between the screw and screwdriver. Just make sure your bit doesn't slip between the threads, and don't rush it.
