There's no reason you can't but without the temp sensor you must be cautions if your battery does over heat because it can lead to damages on the touchscreen as well.
Why does Nintendo mention a size #0 screwdriver while iFixit says #00?
proof: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/...
"•Use a crosshead style, size #0 screwdriver to avoid damage to the screw or threads"
"2.Loosen the battery cover screws with a crosshead style, size #0 screwdriver."

The size #00 is just a little smaller than the #0. When we wrote these guides, we used whatever worked for us. Either should work, but generally you should use the largest that will work to avoid stripping the screw.
