People assume their drivers last forever. Just a tiny bit of tip damage and they’re grind up any screws.
Philips in impact drivers is a sin.
edit:
5. There are different Philips sizes; any Philips will fit in any equal or larger plus-sized hole, but barely engage and both strip the screw and the driver.
No doubt, but in my own amateurish experience, the only way I can deal with PH is by using a power tool at very low speed while also applying pressure on the screw to prevent slippage (ideally one that also lets you set the torque).

I had honestly never even considered this possibility…
