What are these stock screws made out of aluminum? Every bolt is stripping

Are the screws from Ace Hardware Phillips or JIS? By the way, JIS screws are supposed to have a small dot punched near the slot. And yes, Phillips screwdrivers do a terrible job on JIS screws.

Also get yourself a hand impact driver for maintenance. Works great for both Phillips and JIS (if you have the right bits).

Most metric stuff from ACE will be standard Phillips. As for supposed to have a dot... bolts are supposed to be made of metal too, but China discovered aged cheddar and never looked back.
