You would need special small screwdrivers like the ones in a iFixit kit or similar

You don't need any special screwdrivers, just use a small Philips head. It doesn't have to match up exactly with the size.

Even if you wanted a tiny screwdriver kit, your local Walmart carries them inside a case in electronics. Just ask for a set. It's like $8.
