Default Square drive wood screws stick to the bit?

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.


Ahhh, the stickiness of a fresh bit. Give it a few screws and it will
loosen up soon enough.
Then you'll be looking for a fresh bit that's sticky again.
