Correct screwdrivers can be found in one of two ways,
depending on the
size you need. For the small sizes, get watchmaker screwdrivers. For
larger sizes, get gunsmith screwdrivers. Both have hardened tips,
hollow ground so the point that fits in the slot of the screw has
parallel sides, not tapered sides. With those you can work those screws
without damaging them, even if they are quite tight.
Another way to find larger HG sizes is to get a (good) set of power-
drive bits that will fit a screwdriver socket handle. Although this
has its problems with getting into tight spaces, sets of hollow-
ground hardened power bits are comparatively easy to find.
