3DS battery and Left Trigger problem

I’ve been wanting a 3DS for a while now, I just got this one from my local flea market from this guy I buy video games from every weekend that I’m in there and he was selling a 3DS for $180 and I ended up getting it but there is two problems that it has with it… the left trigger feels stiff and the battery is starting to swelling

the left trigger wouldn’t move at all, I took it home and used isopropyl alcohol and I got it unstuck and I got whatever gunk that was in it and it works now but it feels stiff and doesn’t make a clicking sound when I use it, but the 3DS is registering me pressing the button

Im not sure what els to do that will fix it the left trigger

Im pretty sure the battery is starting swelling up, you can’t see much but there is a small bump where the battery is at on the back … on the left side the back panel is sticking up a little bit (you can see in pic) ,as of right now It’s not that bad of a bump

I don’t have a screwdriver that size that will fit those screws on the 3DS, I’m having a hard time finding a place with Phillips #00, but I know it has the original battery in it, that what the guy selling it to me said

I was looking for CTR-003 batteries for the 3DS with a screwdriver and this is the first one to pop up for me ,it was on Walmart.com and I ended up buying it because it looks like the one i needed for it and I checked multiple times that it was the right one

I need someone help that knows about this stuff, I don’t really know a whole lot about 3DS, this CTR-003 i got is a third-party and I’m not sure if this one is a decent one to use on my 3DS or should I get a different one?
