Also ,if you find your screwdrivers are chewing stuff up,you might want to invest in a J.I.S. set of screwdrivers.All japanese goods since post war use J.I.S. Not phillips or posidrive,hardly noticeable but when things are tight it makes all the difference.

Ah, this is one of the things I was wondering, and I’ll order some this evening as I couldn’t find a perfect fit!

My discovery of the existence of jis screwdrivers was the one single saving grace in that dreariest of tv series, James May's The Reassembler. He was working on a Japanese Stratocaster copy, and used jis drivers. I'd genuinely never heard of them before.
