ASUS Strix R9 Fury Direct CU III 4GB - Disassembly

I wish to dissassemble this card so that I can paint various parts. I have managed to get to a point where I can see 3 screws remaining, which are internal screws, what I mean is if |B| is the backplate and |S| is the shroud with the fans on it then this is what it looks like:
|B| SCREW--> |S|
|B| <-- SCREW |S|
|B| <-- SCREW |S|

Arrow indicates screw direction.

I have thought about this, and it feels like this needs a specific tool, something like a low profile screw-driver I couldn't be bothered waiting for the delivery of this item, so I took a blow-torch, super-heated a regular straight-edge screw driver and bent the end 90°. This worked to remove the bottom screw, which has around 22mm clearance, but not the second screw which has 10mm clearance and not the top screw which is much further in towards the centre of the video card and much further down.

Any ideas? Did I miss an earlier fitting somewhere which allows me to dissassemble this in a much easier way?
