The head on pozidrive is quite easy to chew up too.


When using quality screws and bits/screwdriver of the correct size, they
do not chew up.


That's only because you hacksaw a slot in them so that you can use your
blunt penknife.


Sacrificial screwdriver method used here. Heat up the end of the
screwdriver in a flame then apply to slot or crosshead and the paint
burns out.
