That's not just user error, though. Phillips also makes it easy to use an undersized driver, and people will grab whatever they have handy. Torx doesn't have that problem, but at the expense of needing a bunch of different drivers for different screws.

Yeah, I’ll take that trade off pls

You're suppose to have a bunch of drivers for Phillips. When you don't, they strip. It's not a real tradeoff.

I mean, yeah, exactly. And right now I’ve got fucking loads of both and more so give me types that won’t strip pretty please

Nah, it's user error. Torx also has the problem. I've had to rescue multiple laptops from one of the IT guys at my work because he keeps using a Torx bit a couple sizes too small and stripping the heads.
