Chances are those are probably not phillips head but JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Drivers with a shallower head. A standard phillips head tool will probably strip the head. I would personally make sure to have the correct tool for that specific job.
Product Description
The D-530-75, D-540-100, D-550-100 and D-555-100 drivers have replaced the previous generation (D-130-75, D-140-100, D-150-100 and D-155-100 drivers) J.I.S.(Japanese Industrial Standard) tips are slightly different than those Phillips tips typically found in the U.S. All Phillips screws are not the same. If you experience cam-outs, or find that you are ripping and damaging screwheads, you are probably using a US Phillips screwdriver, when you should be using a JIS screwdriver. As JIS screws become more popular, the best way to reduce cam-outs and/or ripping out screwheads, is to purchase JIS screwdrivers.

I do not know for sure what you are dealing with is JIS, but most likely it is. If it seems the phillips head tool sticks up slightly, then most likely JIS heads.
Will the proper tool help? Most likely but hard to say what will most effectively help remove the screws without causing damage/stripping. Probably best to order the set anyway so you can get the proper size minimizing potential damage. You are not being overly cautious as I would have the same concerns.

Hand impact tool is the best thing made for these type screws and fasteners,especially stator screws.Twist left to loosen,right to tighten,whack the end with a hammer. No stripped screws or small bolts as pressure is always on the screw or bolt. You can get them cheap at Harbor Freight,Northern Tool,etc.Good tool to keep in the box.
