Buy him a modulo screwdriver and file the pointy tip off?

Are you sure that it isn't /your/ fault for not using a screw with a
combination of a slotted and Phillips head in the first place? ;-)

Just tell him to knock the screw in with a hammer.

I worked in a saw mill at one time. They made pallets for plate glass.
That's exactly what they did. Balanced the screw on the point and one
blow was enough.

I've made one fit before now. Couldn't find the exact size slotted I needed so the angel grinder turned a dead PZ2 into a slot. And yes, I have more slotted bits in stock now!

In February I got some items delivered on a pallet constructed
presumably with the use of a nail gun. On attempting to take it apart
the nails were barbed down their length meaning that it was almost
impossible to remove them from the wood.

The other way round does work. You can undo a PZ2 with a small slotted
screwdriver.

I did the same, but it was packing cases. Sometimes if the screw didn't
go in far enough you'd have to turn it, but you soon got the knack.

That is the correct screwdriver for rusty PZ2 screws.

I have a theory that modern education is making us more like computers every

You have to detaill every eventuality the computer may encounter in doing a
certain job, and a subroutine of checking the bit against the screw type is
a must if you are designing a very flexible assembly robot control system.

If the timber was still fresh and soft it wasn't a problem.
In my 1976 house the chipboard flooring is fixed with nails
