precise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to be exact' is the definition.
('precise' is associated in meaning with 'exact')

'give one the creeps wandering' is the wordplay.
'give' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'wandering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i' next to 'creeps' is 'icreeps'.
'icreeps' is an anagram of 'PRECISE'.

'round' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
