Buy a set of driver bits, and use your drill to drive the screws.
You'll find it's a lot easier and smoother than turning them by
hand. (This assumes your drill is variable speed and allows good
low-speed control; if not, buy an inexpensive drill-driver.)

Thanks, Gary. I had done that in the past and ended up stripping
most of the heads. Maybe it was a bad (cheap) set of driver bits,
because the drill was definitely variable speed.

There's also a chance that the screws you're buying aren't any good. A
lot of the stuff that you find in chain hardware stores is real crap.
