Yeah it’s good general advice to always discharge the CRT. Although… the flyback transformer on most of these Macs has a bleeder resistor, so I skip it when I’m lazy now.
A long flat nose screwdriver is actually recommended in Apple's manuals. Just... don't touch the metal part, and maybe consider wearing some insulating gloves.
