Art,
The Elecraft screws are American Phillips #1 size.
Use quality tools and you will be rewarded - bypass the bargain-bin
selections. Poor quality tools lead to injury to your body as well as
damaged parts. I have found good quality screwdrivers at Ace Hardware,
but my favorite is Excelite.
Yes, if you are working on Japanese radios, you will need JIS.

Good advice on shinny Phillips drivers.
Are the screws in the Elecraft products American Phillips, or JIS
Japanese Industrial Standard?
JIS which all the Japanese radios use, for my Icom radios I use a set of
Hozan screw drivers to fix the Cam-Outs issue destroying the head of the
screws, the difference is subtle.
I was told years ago the fit is right if the small screw stays on the
screw driver holding it vertical with out magnetism keeping it attached.
