Loose pentalobe screw of my MacBook Pro

One of the pentalobe screws for my MacBook Pro seems to be loose. Would that cause damage to the chassis or internals if not tightened right away?

Furthermore, is there a way I can tighten it myself, and is there some reliable place where I can purchase a pentalobe screw driver?


Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

possibly, but I'm not certain.

you can get the pentalobe screw driver on it's own from OWC. but for a few extra dollars you can get a NewerTech 14 Piece Toolkit - All the screwdrivers, Torx, Pentalobe, pry tools & more you need. (also OWC)
