This is one of those things that's getting lost in the intention. I've been in an interview where I used we and the interviewer was fairly blunt in asksing which things I directly did, which I collaborated on, which I reviewed, etc. It becomes clear very quickly they aren't trying to figure out if you are sociable, but to understand what you do and do not know how to do. Shifting into that mindset it becomes easy to say things like "three person team. We collaborated on x,y,z. A and B were my primary responsibilties and I think my most important contributions were blah blah".
