How to correct the intonation on a JTV-89 ?

Hi,

 

I feel a bit dumb asking that here but I have an intonation issue with my JTV-89, on the B and high E strings.

So not a big deal, I look for the allen wrench provided with the JTV and try to find the right one. And there... boom. I can't find any way to stick this allen wrench in the bolt head as the pickups are in the way and the only allen wrench that is short enough is too small.

 

So how did YOU managed to change the intonation of your JTV-89 ?

 

The only ways I can think of right now are :

- removing the pickups... hummm quite a lot of work.

- changing the action, raising the bridge, so that the bolt heads are higher than the pickup... But I'm satisfied with the action right now, and setting the intonation with another action than the one I want is useless.

- sawing the allen wrench to shorten it... it's the best option so far

 

Did I miss something ?
