Default Square drive wood screws stick to the bit?

I'm not whining, I'm asking if anyone else has the same problem or if
there is an easy solution.

I got some square drive screws today. I noticed they stick to the
screw driver and thought that was cool since it would be like a
magnetic tip screwdriver with a much stronger grip. Then I drove some
into a 2 x 4 and had trouble removing the drill from the screw head.

Well, I guess the obvious solution is to file the screw head. Any
other suggestions/clues/hints would be appreciated.

I don't don't do much fastening, so it's no big deal in any case.
Thank you.



Roll the tip off the screw instead of just pulling it off straight.
