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.

This is why i love flat head screws. Especially when they are in something that you have to hold in one hand while applying as much pressure as possible with the other. I'm still nursing the latest slice on my finger.
