I think an eyeglass screwdriver is small enough to do it, something sub 1mm.

.

You'll have to be more precise with the DD36 model and especially the bracelet used.

If it's a 11820x/11823x DD and 8320x president bracelet, you need a 1.3mm screwdriver. For older bracelets it can be different.

Highly recommend a hollow ground tip. Make sure you warm the other end up so if theirs locktite in the threads its a easy release. Plenty of butchered heads and scratched bracelets from people that dont know what there doing and thats at alot of the AD's too!
