The problem with using phillips is selecting the correct size. If you have the correct size its much harder strip the threads.

Came here to say this. The correct size and depth bit on a Phillips is a thing of beauty and grace. If you get it the slightest bit wrong (pun yes) God help you and your offspring to 7 generations.

Also using good drivers that still have sharp edges.

Still prefer torx for anything more than drywall or door hardware.

One philips fits multiple sizes. A feature not a bug.

Yes, a #2 phillips will work for #1-3 screw heads, but will easily round over the smaller and larger screws. Using the correct size works much better. Also, getting a slightly more expensive screwdriver with the antislip ridges is a worthwhile investment.

Especially when a similar size will feel like it fits pretty well, until it cams out at much less torque than it should.

I've picked up a set of anti-slip bits, they are pretty much ribbed so they bite into the screws just enough to cam out a lot less often. Works better than I hoped for maybe $7 for 5 bits in different lengths.
