A very common issue. I've reverted to getting the correct spec flathead screwdriver which gives a better purchase, putting a dab of grease on the threads, and only torquing to finger tight.
Two alternative options:
- Use split pins
- The swissstop screws are a lot higher quality, but unsure if they're available separately.
- Use split pins

I managed to mangle my pad axle screw as its a flat head screw and I'm incompetent.
Anyone know of a replacement part not made of cheese? For 105 BR-R7070.
These look better but don't think they're compatible.
