The moderator of the CC (hosted) Forum at Applefritter used to make available a long (12") Torx-15 driver. He's in GB. It is/was just one of the many services he rendered to the Mac community, and CC-ism specifically, although no-one who is seriously into Classic AIOs should dream of life without a long Torx-15. His eBay monicker is stuartsmacs.
His current offerings lean towards photographic gear, but that doesn't necessarily exclude Torx drivers on the side, as it were. Having overcome that hurdle, it will be as child's play for you to avoid self-immolation by keeping your cotton-picking fingers off what you don't need to touch, which is rather the PSU's filter capacitors than the CRT's high tension. tomlee59's neat and painless method of disposal of the CRT's charge is worth the effort of your trawling for it. Though the Classic II has software control of brightness, the principle remains true even when you can't see a conventional display. The CRT just needs to be active at even conventional brightness.
Don't be in any hurry to knife your board's capacitors. The checkerboard pattern has as much chance of being the result of the 1-bit (monochrome) AIO's use of system RAM as VRAM: 'vampire video'. Removal, cleaning and reseating of your DRAM is a good first response to your problem.
