^That! Believe it or not, there are different types of phillips, and most metric threaded phillips screws use JIP Phillips heads. Use an SAE screwdriver on a JIP screw, and it will strip out rather easily, especially if it is made of a cheap material or aged. SAE Phillips heads are shaped differently, and only contact a small part of the JIP phillips grooves.
Also, a fun little tech tip. Don't crank down on them when you put the cover back on. Nice and snug is all it should take. Most people over tighten those screws.
