Glove Compartment Fuse Box

Has anyone tried accessing the fuse box in the glove compartment of (at least) the 2015 X3? I believe on my former 2012 X3, it was a drop down shelf in the compartment (or was in my 2009 X3). Regardless, the fuse box is so recessed that I am wondering how people access it.

You take the small cover off the rear panel of the compartment, and the box is recessed behind some wires. My hand barely fits through that opening and I'd be afraid of dropping a fuse in there and not knowing where it would go. Anyway, I was looking at this in anticipation of tapping into the box for power for a dash cam.

I read that there were some tweezers in the rear fuse box, so perhaps that would be how you'd access the front fuse box but still, there's so much in the way. I didn't get a chance to find the rear box, but I assume it's behind the passenger side well in the rear compartment.

Of course it can't be simple.
