So my trick doesn't work on CX CAS's.. my friend taught me it for opening Gamecubes, Yamashita. :) Well it's old but gold, but all it takes is creating a deeper crevice for it to be useless.

A tri-wing works on these, as will an appropriately sized philips head. But really, get a Torx 6.
Keep trying.

Yep, opening GC remind me of the good time ... How to have a chipped GC and DREs :D Glad to have dolphinemu on this matter ^^
I hate TI ! They have gifted us with a fine calc but have it locked everywhere ...

By the way, I don't understand why you are telling me to get a Torx 6 ... My problem isn't the Torx screws but the Clutch screws ...
For the record, I have some Xbox 360 sized Torx keys but they are huger than 6 ... But T6 screws can be opened with a flat head screwdriver, so it's fine ;)

:) good call, Yamashita! The Clutch screws can be opened with a firmly and meticulously placed flathead, as well.

TI has good reasons for locking it down, and I understand the feeling, though I personally love TI.
I have fixed many a broken wii and gamecube
Keep trying.

You can open the CX with a 1.6mm flat screw driver, like the one I used in this picture :

I do not get mad at people, I just want them to learn the way I learnt.

THIS WAS INVENTED BY ME! TAKE THAT EHOW!!

So you lie and take credit for things that you didn't come up with?

_Nicco_  , did you succeed to remove the Clutch screw (near the battery) ?
I bet that theses are clutch but I'm not sure, they are so tiny ...

I'll try to remove the clutch screws after my homework gets done. 
Thanks.

After those screws should the top come right off?  Also do the clutch screws need to be put back in?

Nicco, not really invented. It was just a thing I didn't have to look up too get. My friend didn't teach me it, but he recommended finding a malleable substance and I perfected it for him.
So we did it together.
Chill.
Keep trying.

Oh yeah !!!
I suceed to remove the clutch screws with a 1.2 mm flat screwdriver. It's was so easy with the right tool :)

Maybe there are hidden screws under pads ... I will see that later ...

edit :
Okay that's it ! You have two more clutch screws under the top pads. Once you have removed them, push the battery area to remove the motherboard part ;)

Ahh I wasn't able to get the top clutch screws out.  I'll try again some other day with a different screw driver

I have a fear of stripping them.  They look really easy to strip.

One thing sholud be told... If you opens your CX/CAS with very small screwdriver, be aware that 2 pieces at reset hole don't get lost. A very small black round plastic with small pin has to sit in the reset hole with pin pointing to hole and a small grey rubber button has to be placed on it, the inner side with black conductive rubber pointing to small golden contacts at the board (and if it's adhering at the board, take it to a safe place, it may fall down by moving the Nspire board). By opening the Nspire both will fall out, when the back is hold upside. So look that the upper part with keys is upside and after opening, look for both pieces. They have a weight close to 0 and you know, such pieces can jump over incredible distances... So better to do this all on a wide table. When putting the Nspire together, replacing of the 2 parts is tricky. Put the black piece at his place and and put the grey button in right way on it, as I told before. Use a forceps, with fingers it's to difficult. Be careful, make not to much vibration by mounting back (of course laying at downside), otherwise the both pieces will change their position. When all seems right, try a reset before turning all screws in :-). Sorry about my very simple english.
