Maybe I'm just being lucky but I've never experienced screws stripping anymore since I've started getting better tools for myself.
And in woodworking it can also help to pre-drill a hole using your smallest drill, before screwing a screw in. This also prevents the wood from cracking. I've also seen wood screws that have some lubrication pre-applied.
The problem is, when working with electronics, you can have a great screwdriver but it won't help if the screws in the device are very cheap (and probably partially stripped already from someone opening it previously).
I'll be honest that I've never really experienced problems like that before. I've had cheap screws and partially stripped screws. But so far I've always been able to open them with the right screwdriver.
But I believe you when you say you did and maybe you have a lot more experience than I do so I'll respect your opinion.
I haven't had any completely fail yet, but I've seen some come worryingly close. I don't really have all that much experience, but from what I've seen it just doesn't seem like the most reliable design.
PC fan screws come to mind because they are self tapping and a lot of people seem to not use the right screwdriver or don't yet know the trick of running the screws in and out of the fan one time outside of the case first.
I swear I've had stuff with stripped screws right from the store.
