Default screwing into aluminum channel

Can you screw into aluminum that is 1/8" thick? I know you can screw into
sheet metal, but I wonder if 1/8" thick aluminum would just strip screws.

Self tapping sheet metal screws might be a waste of time, but I've
drilled into 1/8 soft steel with self drilling and self tapping
screws.
