If you ever buy a packet of extra valve cores (e.g., on Amazon), it will come with a tiny plastic thingy for dealing with valve cores. That is the best tool for carrying on the bike, as it weighs almost nothing and takes almost no space.
Some multi-tools have them, too - they often do double-duty as a spoke wrench.
The
Silca Tattico that I recommended doesn't thread onto the valve, so unscrewing the core is a non-issue.
