So, I just successfully repaired my Virtual Boy with the LED ribbon glue cook technique (with tape to maintain the hold).

Though, even WITH the deep security bit I couldn't get the two "deep" screws out and wound up drilling the heads off and removing the screws from the posts after everything was opened up.

I didn't wind up doing any damage, but I don't have two equivalent sized screws lying around. Are those screws crucial to anything other than keeping the case top/bottom together?

Does it matter if I just leave them out for the time being? (or permanently)

Take an identical screw down to a hardware store, they should be able to match it.

I wouldn't leave it out just in case.
