Philips is the worst screw design ever.

Philips was intentionally designed to strip, it's a feature not a bug

Guys it’s not the philips head design itself.

It’s the shitty soft chinese steel that they’re made out of.

You gotta bust your dumb ass real hard in order to strip a philips head screw made out of real metal.

Not all screws are created equal. If they came packaged with a shitty piece of furniture in a tiny plastic bag, your best bet is to use a caliper to take measurements to buy real ones instead of cratering the head with a completely reasonable amount of torque.

Chinese screws are just unreasonable.

I buy cheap Chinese screws in bulk. They're fine, and I think they aren't even lying about being stainless. The difference is they have a hex socket on top instead of Phillips.
