One I learned from a mechanic who probably worked on the Wright Flyer (at least he looked like it!) - dip just the very the tip of the Phillips screwdriver in some fine metal grinding compound just before you use it, the grit will really help the flutes grab the screw rather than slip and round out the slots. Second, look around your friendly hardware store for the replaceable tips with minute serrations built into the flats right down at the tip. I've used both methods with good results, but the "grabber" tip is less messy.
