TPS Screw removal

I have a 89 toyota pickup with the v6 3.0 and i have recently had idle surging issues and very high idle, so i believe its the the tps but i cant seem to find a way to get the screws out of the tight location its in. If anyone knows a easier way to get them out, i would love to hear. Thanks, Neil

It could be the TPS, or the idle speed screw was turned.

One of these might help, $4 at an auto part store. Or just find someone with small hands!

If it was me with my fumble fingers i would just pull the throttle body.

Here I thought having 10 extra screws was enough I know now to get more.

Except I took my screws out and replaced with bolts to make it easier for next time.
