A screwdriver tip with a V shape would not strip as easily, and would force you to use the right size of screwdriver because of the posistion of the angle. The angle can be sharp so that it doesn't make tri-wing "security screws" accessible.

How about gull-wing screws with bits that 'flip' up to aid the twisting....especially handy for computer-cases when a screw-driver isn't handy, and you want it screwed tight.

...or X and Y wing screws for use on relevant space-fighters...

Isn't this a phillips screwdriver?

Excuse me, I seem to be not understanding.

a phillips is more of an X shape? does this replace the X with a V?

Sorry, I was looking at it from the wrong angle.
