I replaced the keyboard on a unibody era MBP. (2011 ish, the one with the dvd drive that needed to have the hard drive cable replaced every few years because it would wear at a corner and short against the case).
It had 50+ absolutely tiny screws, requiring a 000 Phillips head, probably about the size of the little ones in iPhone 6s, but all about 2mm long.

- wiredfool 4y agoGenuine Wiha phillips head screwdrivers are magic at not stripping screws. So much so that many cheap no-name sets will imitate the red knob and dark grey finish to piggyback on that.
