Quoted from DugFreez:I used to run into the occasional cross threaded screw from the factory. Never more than 1 per game it seemed, but I have seen plenty of single stubborn ones. Keep in mind, I also never found one that I really had doubts if I would get removed. Just the occasion one that would make me spit and cuss a bit and go through a half a dozen different screw drivers trying to see if any did a better job with it. That is until I bought myself the perfect screw driver for the job.

The tip is the correct #1 size for those screws and more importantly the shaft is long enough so the grip is out past the edge of the panel. This makes it so you can get to the screw at a much straighter angle than you can with a screw driver with a shorter shaft (with your knuckles up on the back of the speaker plate trying to get a good grip and a decent angle at the screw). I haven't had any troubles with those screws when using this screw driver. Of course, if the screw head is already stripped, it might still be trouble.
