Been working on my instrument panel and have been putting it on and off probably a dozen times now and can already see the first screws getting worn out. I'm using torque limiting on the screw driver. They just are not that great in principle. There are better alternatives like Torx but they are nowhere to be found at the usual aviation sources. Sure nobody forcing you to use those sellers but if you go metric where Torx is pretty common then there is a total lack of things like anchor plates etc. And finding a 8-32 Torx head screw specially if you are not based in the US becomes it's own challenge.
What am i missing here? I think i have a good collection of grippy, diamond plated screw bits but the Phillips screws wear out pretty fast. Or is there something like a UNC specific selection of screw bits that fit better?
