Size 00 or an eyeglass screwdriver should work.

Size 00 or an eyeglass screwdriver should work.

But some of the screws are different size, i.e the hard drive screw is bigger than the plate screws.

I suggest you get one of those eyeglasses screwdriver sets rather than just the 00 by itself. I bought a 00 at Sears for $3 and it was way too big for the screws. I ended up buying a $5 set at CVS and it worked like a charm. The different sizes will also allow you to unscrew other parts of the MBP you want to open up.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will need the torx set too?

I ordered it before lunch and spoke to the guy to ask him to dispatch it the same day. He did so and it arrived the next morning (even though it was standard postage). Good service!
