I was wondering if anyone has successfully managed to sharpen there triwing screwdrivers?

I've gone through my 4th one of these today so just ordered another. They're cheap enough but it seems as awful waste to throw them away.

If it was a normal screwdriver I'd just sharpen on a knife stone or grinder... But with these things being so small it's difficult to judge the angle. I don't think I trust doing it.

If anyone's had success let me know.

I was looking at that. I'm on the UK site. It doesn't have the triwing Y00.

It has Triwing in Y0 and Y1 and tripping in Y0 and Y00.

I didnt really want to buy the whole kit as I do a few mates joycons etc.. but I'm probably only going to use it a few times a year. I still think it's worth at least investing in the right tool for at least the 1 switch screw.

See the pic and link there's also a Y1 in the trippoint. I just want to make sure I get the correct one. The kits I've used up to now include the drivers (so didn't need to worry)... although they're cheap they fit (in theory).
Tri-point is correct, actually (look at the Switch repair guides, they link to the Tri-point Y00 bit)
Everybody calls it triwing, but technically that's not correct.
The difference being that triwing has a flat tip, Tri-point is more like a 3-sided Philips.
