I can strip any screw head, any time, anywhere. Slot, Phillips, Square, Torx or any other name you want to call them, I can strip them out. Haven't met one yet I couldn't.
What's the one that looks like a Phillips but isn't? Angles are slightly different and a Phillips won't go in all the way.
Then there's another; typical Phillips 'X' pattern with another smaller 'X' pattern that makes it look like a star.
It sounds like operator error. Use the right size bit, use a bit that’s not worn out. Make sure the screw head isn’t full of dirt. Make sure the bit is hitting the screw straight. Use an impact over a drill. Unless somebody else has already partially stripped the head they usually break off before they strip.
