What kind of guitar do you have? On some, the screws go into threaded inserts and on others, the screws go into wood.

I know it sounds stupid but are you turning the screws anti-clockwise?

I use a small Stanley screwdriver that swivels. I can place a good amount of pressure on the screw and save the plating and the screw comes out straight. Hope this helps. Bobby.

I use a Dillon precision screwdriver that also swivels. They're expensive but they last a lifetime with mulitple bits, and they fit screw heads perfectly........it's also magnitized.

In my opinion the most important thing is to use a screwdriver that has a blade that is as wide as the slot in the screw. The proper size of screwdriver has as much to do with keeping the screw head from stripping out as the right amount of downward pressure.

Don't forget , when yuo replace the coverplate to turn the screw "backwards" untill you feel it drop into the threads in the wood. (This is to avoid stripping the wood). Start all screws before you tighten any.
