I use Robertson screws all the time. I have yet to have
one strip when removing them. They come in at least 3
sizes and the screwdrivers are color coded according to
size. Black, Red,and Green. Can't remember the
dimensions. Many manufacturers are now supplying them
in dual Roberson, blade form.

Speaking of tamper-proof screws, does anyone know
the name
for the ones that need a triangular-tip bit/driver? It's
not a tri-wing, since it doesn't have "wings". Just a
triangular hole in the head.
Lara tools just calls them triangular resess.
I've got square bits. I think there's a name for those,
but I've forgotten it.
In Canada they call those Robertson bits. They use them a
lot more than we do in the US. The last time I was up
there they were using them for dry wall screws, installing
electrical boxs in houses, etc.
