If nothing fits it cleanly, it's possible you don't have the right screwdriver. There are a LOT of different sizes, but you probably knew that.

And yeah, some pans have screwed handles, others have riveted handles, still others have welded handles. And there are probably more kinds I don't know about. They all have their pros and cons, and you're directly dealing with one of the cons of screws. 🫠
