I dislike Philips head screws for that very reason. Whenever I can, I prefer pozidriv. They are very similar to Philips, and you can use a Philips screwdriver on pozidriv screws, although they may still slip and strip. Some people confuse pozidriv with Robertson, but they are not the same. Robertson are square drive. But I have seen Robertson screws advertised as pozidriv.
