I use the right size driver bit, I try pushing as hard as humanly possible into the screw head, I drill a pilot hole first, I try doing it in short bursts..

and yet somehow I have 5 fucking driver bits in the last month - all stripped to shit from slipping over the screw head. Am I retarded?

It doesn't help that they're all made of cheap Chinese shit metal. Maybe I need some higher carbon bits.

Phillips are designed for manual drivers. Use a hex or torx when driving. With a quality fastener you don't have to worry nearly as much. But as you called it, Chinesium shit is shit.
