OpenVPN Key Size 1024 vs 2048 and Eavesdrop vs Access?

OpenVPN recommends using a 2048 RSA key size for greater security, however, the hardware I'm using is somewhat weak and defaults to using a 1024 RSA key size. I'm trying to determine if it's worth the hassle of manually changing things to a 2048 sized key. I'm not concerned about anyone eavesdropping on any data being send over the VPN connection, however, I am concerned about someone opening a VPN connection themselves that isn't authorized to do so. So I'm wondering, does the key size impact only how difficult it is to eavesdrop on an authorized connection, or does it also make a difference in how hard it is to gain access if you're not authorized to do so.
