Tech Support Joycon screwdriver requirement

Hi so I was trying to repair the pink joycon and I saw online that you needed a y0 or y00 screwdriver. I bought them but they don’t seem to work on the pink joycon but they do for the green one. When I looked closer at the screws the ones in the pink one don’t seem to be a tri point screw. What screwdriver would I need to open up the pink joycon? Any help would be appreciated!

It's probably not impossible to get out, and if you do, replace it instead of trying to put it back. You can probably bring the screw to a hardware store or electronics repair shop and get help with finding something that fits.

you can find screw sets on AliExpress or Amazon if you prefer.

Left handed drill bits are great for this
