Could you please elaborate more about what would be different if 也 wasn't used?

It (without 也) will make the sentence less emphatical -  一点儿不错。一点儿不馬虎。楚义**沒/未**强求.

For this case, **也** acts as a model particle, emphasizing/stressing the tone of the negative expression after it.

* 一点儿**也**不错。(emphasis "不错")
* 一点儿**也**不馬虎。(emphasis "不馬虎")
* 楚义**也**不强求, (emphasis "不强求" - "not insisting", which indirectly demonstrates his mild/easygoing manner, and willingness to compromise)
