Slotted, Torx or Bristol — the patterns designed to allow screwdrivers their bite also have a habit of wearing down into round mouths that accept any peg but give no grip at all.
Naturally, it is always the screws sunk deepest that reliably let all screwdrivers slip. Squeeze any old rubber band between screw and tool, though, and you may find just enough grip to wrench it free.
Now that we have a grip on that, how about coaxing something else into place — say, an email that really should stick to paper instead of floating on a screen?
