I tried to disassemble a fungus infected F35-70 for fun. I couldn't find JIS screwdrivers, instead I used PH000 and PH00 drivers from an electronics shop. They fit ok. You need to apply a lot of pressure! The screws on my F35-70 didn't need heating. I did notice some screws had some kind of glue (locktite) applied. I planned to hacksaw a screwdriver tip and insert it in an soldering iron. Maybe this helps
