Operating under the microscope is not easy. Some people have more trouble with it than others. There are those that are just naturally good at it. But most of this goes away with time. The best way to get good at microsurgery or any surgery for that matter is practice practice practice.
Steady hands are not a requirement and I've seen several decent neurosurgeons with much less than "super-steady hands". As mentioned prior, manual dexterity and steady hands makes delicate vascular work under the scope (clipping, bypasses, etc) much easier but maybe a little less exciting.
