You guys warned me these screws would be tough to remove. I tried different philips screwdrivers, all they do is strip. Did anyone actually get them out? Or do I need a new throttle body? Not going to risk drilling them out because if I screw it up I don't know if I can get another throttle body for cheap. Don't want to spend a lot of money on this since a high idle is not a huge problem.

Thanks guys but i somehow fixed the high idle problem without cleaning out the IAC. Just cleaned the TB out with some dish soap and a rag, and shot WD40 into all the nipples and ports. That didn't do anything immediately after, I was still idling at 1600. But today I was screwing around and revving to 5000, and right after I did that my idle went to 700, which is perfect. I'm very confused by it, not sure if it was a coincidence or what, but i'm quite happy, it had been idling super high for months.
