Look for a bit that has serrations on the flutes. They bite into the head of the screw. Proper size has a lot to do with it too.

I always had better traction with the #2 bits that were slightly rounded at the tip. They were very common 20+ years ago and preferred by many of the drywallers that I knew before drywall tips came along. You could often buy them by the handful at the counter of hardware stores but I haven't been able to find them recently. They were similar to these from Wiha: https://www.wihatools.com/products/p...1a98cf7a&_ss=r

Another vote for Wiha, if shopping for an excellent screwdriver.

"Reality Is Often Disappointing."
Yeah There's numbers for a reason. Just like almost everything else in the tool box.
This. I got rid of all my Phillips screws and will never by another.
I can confirm using your teeth while drunk is the incorrect tool.
I have to use these for work and I find the fit PH2 better than most standard screwdrivers

One of the few drivers we’re I would buy snap on
and replace them as needed
Right tool for the job. Include JIS and especially, a hand impact driver. You can thank me later for the latter…

Torx or square drive, makes life a lot easier.
