Is the DS tri-wing big enough for Wii screws?

Hi I found a DS batterie pack replacement for 20$ at a game store that has the
tri wing screw driver I'll need to open up my Wii. It's more expensive then buying one online but at least i'll get it right away.

But I noticed the screws on the DS are much smaller that the scews on the Wii.
Will the smaller DS triwing work on the Wii screws? without ruining the grove?

I'm just wondering if it wont 'catch' on the larger groove.

The screws are common for all versions of the DS and the wii.

Well looks like i'm answering my own question now. For anyone else reading this:

I went ahead and bought the screwdriver. Turns out it was for the DSi battery screw which is not a tri-wing but one with tiny x, or 4 way groove. It's no good for the Wii's tri-wing screws but it turns out it's good for the other screws on the Wii.

So it was the wrong screw-driver but I needed it anyway.
