Actually a 3D printed driver might work brilliantly for this - the matching material hardness would distribute torque more evenly and prevent stripping, plus you could design a custom bit shape that’s optimzed specifically for printed fasteners.

I wonder if 3d printed driver tips would be better for matching the material strength and reduce stripping. Or maybe they wouldn’t have enough strength at all and would just twist and fall apart.
I was also wondering how well printing drywall anchors would work.

Yeah, those were my original thoughts. I think it would take some experimentation to see what works.

I print my own drywall anchors all the time and they work really well, at least for my applications!
