It can't be done. At least it always seems that way whenever I try to put one in. You need to loosen a lot of other nearby fasteners to be able to shoehorn the grill in without scratching the paint.
As far as access, you need as much as you can find, including through the headlight holes.

The one thing I remember about installing my grille is you need tiny hands with long fingers. My daughter in law helped with the last number of bolts.
