I have a screwdriver magetiser. Magnetise when I need it, demiagnetise
when I don't. Works well on my jeweller's screwdrivers.

I find that a magnetised screwdriver usually has the wrong polarity
for the screw (or for the thing the screw is to be screwed into, if it is
metal) - and this results in the screw aligning itself at a jaunty angle
to the desired direction!

Why can't you just magnetise the screwdriver the other way around ?
