I have one screwdriver that works miracles like that on Philips head screws--the one on my ~40 year old Victorinox Swiss army knife. I've always wondered what the heck they did different from every other screwdriver I've ever owned to make theirs work so much better.

Now I'm wondering if they are actually following some other standard like that Japanese one.

Speaking of screwdrivers, anyone else here also have way more screwdrivers than you can explain? I can only remember ever buying a small number of screwdrivers, but I have several times that number. Most of them don't match any of the others in handle shape and color and material, so it isn't like I bought a couple or so sets that I've forgotten buying. I seem to have somehow individually acquired a bunch of screwdrivers.

I'm not now nor have ever been a very DIY person and all my screwing needs are easily met by just a handful of screwdrivers.

I have several full drawers of random screwdrivers.
