Comment on acceptable screws
Why?
It was designed to allow more torque to be applied and greater engagement than Phillips drives. As a result, the Pozidriv is less likely to cam out.
IIRC that was a design feature of Phillips screws, not a flaw. Deliberately designed to limit torque to avoid over-tightening.
Interestingly, it was an accidental feature. The original patent application makes no mention of it, but 9 years later they added language about it camming out to the second patent application. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_out

In my experience pozidrive slips more than Philips, worst experience cap IMO
