What's the serial number of the TeleBT?  We had a bad batch of cc1111
chips from TI and if yours is in the affected serial number range, we'll
swap it out free of charge.

We chose that size so that we could get enough screws to fit on the
board size in question.  After some research, we found a screwdriver
supplier we really, really like, and I have a stock of "perfect"
screwdrivers available through the web store.  If you've struggled
finding a suitable one, try one of these:
