#1 What they need is the equivalent of a 3D spider. That is, an ordinary spider's legs are designed to walk on a surface. A 3D spider would have legs going in every direction except directly forward and backwards, making it capable of using all the sides of a narrow tunnel at once.

In turn, it would be very stable, extending and contracting legs as needed, with a form of motion more like a centipede than a spider.
