Neural connections inaccessible on Lewden RCBO's

I am coming across more curve consumer units with Lewden RCBO's in and they are causing me a dilemma.

As you will see in the picture the line conductors pass straight in front of the neutral terminal screw, the only way to check torque on the neutral is to remove the line conductors or risk damaging them.

So far providing the line terminals are tight I have not checked the neutrals as I believe i would be doing more harm than good with work hardening and flattening of conductors, and noting this on my report.

What would you do in this sittuation?

Railway spanners are something else though. I volunteered alongside a railway chap at a large scout event once, and it is the only occasion I have seen a 3/4 inch steel bolt tightened to sheer failure by hand socket set - it was part of a hired temporary roadway. In fairness to him it seemed to work rather better without it.
