Re: key fob battery replacement 2005 Accord

To avoid stripping the screw head, a #0 Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) screwdriver should be used. The screw is actually JIS, not Phillips.

Or slightly heat the screw area with a heat gun or blower drier, and then quickly use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to try to unscrew it. There is thread-locker on the screw.
