    Yeah be careful about the screws and if it happens to be the plastic rubber part wearing out then you might be able to purchase some new ones from DealExtreme: Cool Gadgets at the Right Price - Site-Wide Free Shipping (Page 1) if you need help PM me, I know the PSP Phat inside and out.

    If you can't get the screws out because they're really tight, I would highly recommend going into your local Sears store and getting a Craftsman #000 Precision Philips Screwdriver. Best $2 I ever spent lol.

    It even gets out stripped screws if you use it correctly

    i had a similar problem on my ps3 controller. don't know if it'll work in your case, but try getting a compressed air can and spraying it into the space around your buttons.
