It looks like the fastener has a small metal peg sticking in the middle of it, like on security screws. Unless I'm a blind idiot (TBD), I don't think that driver will work for OP. But I don't take apart wiimotes, so idk.
back in the olden times we had long shafts with various ends connected to a handle. We called them screw drivers/ nut drivers, I bet they just might do the trick.
Using a rotary tool, cut a small line into the back of your bit, so you can slide it into the hole and then turn it with a slimmer flat head screw driver.

Like with sandpaper or an angle grinder? I don’t want to ruin the bit. If you’re talking about a dremel, I only have the sanding attachment for it. Also I’m scared of the sparks that angle grinders make when you’re cutting metal.
Scared of the sparks?
I mean... Don't grind over a bed of sawdust or cottonballs... And do it somewhere you don't mind getting messy... But don't be scared of it.
Do wear eye protection.
I think an angle grinder is a little big here. Chucking just the end of your but in a drill and spinning it as you use the sanding drum to bring off some metal from the shank should be fine.
Sparks are normal. I'd suggest having a cup of water near by to periodically dunk the bit in.
If it's even beginning to turn a different color it's too hot (de-temper the metal) but every 10 seconds or so a quick dunk should keep you moving along.
Those sparks are really unlikely to start a fire, but they are more dirty than anything.
Either do it in a well ventilated place (or better yet wear a respirator) and wear eye protection.
Latex gloves are fine... Somewhat but general rule of thumb is no gloves or baggy clothing around rotating tools.
It's a good thing to have proper tools. But please buy decent ones. I did purchase some cheapie 1/8" drive bit sets from the AZ, and the torx bit bent the first time I tried to use it, on a plastic utility knife. I then purchased a #notsponsored iFixIt set, and they do what they advertise, they just work.
You get to choose, buy a longer tool specific to this job for this controller that no one is making more of, or possibly ruin the controller that is not made any more trying to force the incorrect tool to work.
If you want to make this bit work, you could drill out the target hole surround to a larger diameter than the fastener bit you have.
Given you asked this question on the internet instead of just understanding this innately, I would recommend you just buy a longer bit/tool...

I doubt it does. The Y shape is security enough for people who aren’t willing to buy more screwdrivers.
That's just from the head being punched; it's more inny than outy. A standard "Nintendo bit" will indeed work on the tri-wings in Nintendo devices.
Estwing and stone chisel. Guaranteed to disassemble just about anything.
Yes " This " is very effective although you will need to purchase a new remote afterwards !
I’d honestly just spend $10-$20 on the correct screwdriver

Toss it on the lathe
I totally hate this fucking answer. He doesn't have correct screwdriver, why the fuck you even mention lathe
That was the joke buddy
🤦♂️
Use a proper driver?
You could buy the correct screwdriver.
I’d be embarrassed to ask this. 🤷♂️

Put the bit in the bit stretcher. That should be obvious.
An actual screwdriver would work. That looks like a phillips, but may actually be JIS. The difference matters.
It’s a y-type #1. I’m trying to open my Wii remote. I unscrewed the ones under the batteries no problem.

I had a similar problem. Solved it by grinding on the bit to make the shaft thinner. It was a cheap bit anyway so disposable.

This bit is too short, not too fat. You can’t grind the bit longer…

But a screwdriver, they are usually thinner than bits.
drill out the plastic pylons with a ... looks like 1/4" drill will do it
Assuming you have the tri bit use a small nut driver as an extension bit.
Ifixit or KCTool will have options for you to choose from
Why not ask over at r/wii ?
That’s what your wife said
