Steadiness matters more than size.  You can always use forceps.

I should have said that the springs aren't going to fly across the
room; but the balls are easily dislodged when replacing the
slider/rocker (a touch of grease helps retain them), and the inserted
terminals sit on top of their springs with their tabs just barely (or
not quite) engaging their slots.
