Just to state the plain obvious; it sounds as if you need a bigger screwdriver.

According to the www.ifixit.com disassemble guide you need a Phillips #0 Screwdriver. Not knowing anything about the Phillips Screwdriver size chart one would think that a size #00 screwdriver would be smaller than a size #0.

I would give a size #0 a try.

right-o. you need size 0 not size 00.

thanks, im pretty mad about this,

Step 2: Installing the new Memory

1. Using a Phillips size 00 screwdriver, unscrew the memory door and remove it from the battery bay of your computer.

The right screwdriver shouldn't run more than $5 I think. Also, careful with it around the MBP...one slip and you'll have a nice big scratch.

You're right. Apple is misinforming their customers. It says 00 in my hardcopy manual too.
