I did it back when I still had my PSP. Makes it much more playable. Cardboard from a cereal box is what I used. I do recommend it.

I have also done this on my old PSP Fat, it does the job really good. Much easier to perform Quarters anf Halves on D-Pad
I've used a card from a gaming shop for this ;]

Yeah I remember macguyver'ing my 1000, I couldn't find any of my dusty old NES games for the sleeve so I used a VHS sleeve.
I'm older than you alright, I still have some golden oldies on VHS

Yeah the screws of the PSP are too damn hard to get off .
I had an analog problem and couldn't unscrew the screws so I went to the shop and he unscrewed them very quickly and fixed the analog , I got the PSP next day.
I guess it requires some time for you to get out the screws . I believe the shop owner got them out quickly because he practised much on it.
So if you can't get them off keep trying but :
1-Make sure you're using the right screwdriver
2-Make sure you don't strip the screws or you won't be able to open up your PSP ever

the best way to get tight screws out is to make sure you have the right size driver and that the handle on it is wide. i hate using these 1/4 inch wide metal screw drivers

and prefer ones like this with atleast 1/2 inch wide handle's. that extra 1/4 inch makes all the difference in the world

but if ur stuck with the first kind and have a pair of vise grips you can clamp them onto the driver. or throw on a couple layers of duct tape but the screw driver has a tendancey to slide in the tape so a couple zipties ziped as tight as possible after the first few layers of tape will help
