Maybe it's not so much the screwdrivers you're using, as the screws you are are trying to drive.

There are much better screws available, anything that requires any force I wouldn't even consider using a Phillips head screw, some of the drivers are also vastly better than others.

Use a pozidriv drive, or, better yet, a torx screw. By quality screws, not the cheapest ones you can fine. Install them with a cordless driver that has a little bit of a hammering function.
