I think a lot of people who strip screws do so because no one told them that Phillips and Posidriv are different and incompatible
They literally don't teach it at school and I'm pretty sure my grandpa couldn't tell the difference either so quite literally nobody taught me until I got a screwdriver kit that had both PH and PZ.
Is that what the PZ means, Posidriv?
It's spelled with a z ("Pozidriv"), hence this short form.
Even worse is JIS, where it seems that its explicit and singular goal was to make a screw that would be instantly obliterated the moment a Phillips driver touched it. Fun fact, JIS drivers work far better on Phillips than Phillips drivers do, and I've yet to strip one since using JIS drivers almost exclusively
