To avoid stripping out these screws do not use a phillips screwdriver.

A 1/8 slotted screwdriver works fantastic here.

Should never use a Philips on any screw on a Japanese bike. The screws are JIS and can easily be wrecked by a Philips screwdriver .

Correct, however JIS screwdrivers often cannot be sourced locally. I have only seen JIS bits, and there's no way a bit holder handle will fit into TK22 throttle slides.

I've used my long Phillips screw driver on carb screws for years. It's the case bolts that it won't fit.
