Is there a reason why all conventional domestic electrical wiring fittings use exclusively slotted screw heads, rather than the much more practical Phillips or Pozidrive heads? Don't tell me that electricians can only carry one screwdriver?
Back to screw heads, quite honestly, anybody can chamble the heads of screws of any sort or the tips of drivers. IMHO Phillips are the worst, but the reason for cross-head is automation. I don't think that your ubiquitous electric screwdrivers work with slot-head.
As Sparkingchip has written above, make sure that the screwdriver fits the screw properly.
