[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1406205, member: 8054"] Beside the excellent suggestions to use JIS screwdrivers, I also recommend a little valve grinding compound on the tip if you have a screw that's already damaged. The compound gives some bite and will resist the bit sliding out. Lots of downward pressure is required too (bonus points if you have a speed handle because you can really put serious downward force with one of those while turning). I've gotten a little experience working on aircraft that have hundreds of those screws holding panels in place over the last 30+ years. ;) [/QUOTE]
