While trying to rapid fire mod a controller,
you've come across the annoying T8 screws with a pin in them.
That makes them a T8H screw.
Here is the tutorial about dealing with them.

So, look at the back of your xbox 360's controller.
Check out those pesky T8H screws!
The easiest thing would be getting a T8H screwdriver, but they are hard to come by.
Here's the next best thing and it's pretty simple.
Things you'll need:
Electric Drill
Small Flat Head Eyeglass screwdriver,
also known as watch screwdrivers or watchmaker screwdrivers(dollar store)
T8 Screwdriver (auto store, computer parts store, or radioshack) -
(I personally think the T9 fits better, but w/e is easier to find will work)
xbox 360 controller that you want to open

i did that successfully with 4 controllers(sadly only 2 of them wer moddable
Anyway, yes, I'm aware that there are many options for pre-made rapid-fire controllers/kits, but I find kits to be degrading (DIYer here). Also, it cost me $10 to build my rapid-fire circuit, and I could have done it for less.
BRE Software? In Fresno, you say? I'll go take a look sometime. It's hard to find a good electronics store that sells niche stuff.
Agreed with your first point though
I use a LMC-555 chip with 100k-ohm trimmer/potentiometer for mine. Of course, that's not all the parts, but you get the idea. It does take up extra space, but it fits fairly easily. I even had space for an LED system to light the buttons, thumb sticks (the space between the base of the thumb sticks and the case), and the d-pad. Oh, and both rumble motors were left in place as well.
My dad used some "pulse lazer" thing to put a hole in the tip of a regular T8 torx, works perfectly :)
