I can't imagine a space a Dremel can't get into unless there's something in the way. They make tiny felt bobs, cylindrical in shape that go onto a small shaft with a screw tip (looks like a tiny wood screw). You can run it on a piece of sandpaper to shape it to get into corners - just watch, as you use it and it gets smaller the screw tip will protrude and scar your work if you're not careful. Don't ask me how I know....
