Can someone help me replace my Sony Wega TV lamp?

I have a Sony Grand Wega KF-42WE610.. It's some rear projection LCD/HD TV thing. The lamp burned out a few days ago so I bought a replacement. It took about two days for the replacement bulb to get to me. The tutorials I looked up suggested I have a pair of pliers and a philips screwdriver handy, which I do, but apparently I also need a hex key to pull the lamp outta the TV to begin with. According to the TV instruction manual the replacement was supposed to come with the hex key to help me take it out. Unfortunately I don't have the right sized one in my dad's toolbox either, but I'm hoping I can pick one up somewhere small enough to fit. Would anyone out there know or have an idea of what size I'm looking for specifically so I know what to buy? Or how to find out? And heck, where I can buy one would help too. I'm tired of sitting around waiting for stuff to come in the mail.

Also, is there like, a ghetto approach to removing these screws that I can use? I'm kinda desperate.
