If the setscrew is very small, sometimes the proper size wrench isn't included in the "sets" of wrenches.
If that's the case, why don't you just take the screw out of the heatsink if you can, or if not, take the whole host to a local hardware store, they'll have the proper wrench.

Can't get it out, have to take to the store to do it. Still waiting for my wrench to arrive.

True a good set will go down to 4/40 screw size. i never sen a set screw smaller than that for a host in this country anyway.

I have the same set screw on a few of his hosts.

I use this tool and it's the smallest size in it. There are 9 keys in the set so .050
