shimano QRs are great, XTs particularly for price/performance. i found the mavic ones to be pretty good too
Glws-
Got an XT QR through last week. Got it on today.
Took a bit of 80 grit to the dropouts first, as @Ndeipi suggested.
I've been riding it up and down my street for the last hour, stop-starts in the highest gear a lot, trying to get the rear wheel to slip, and it won't! So far so good. It may take a while to gain my confidence on it though.

I'd be surprised if the Shimano skewer didn't just sort the issue.
If it makes you feel better then use some 60/80 grit paper on the dropouts.
I had a lightweight skewer which slipped on my chromed dropouts, sent me flying. I bought an Ultegra skewer and it's not moved since. Rock solid. Shimano holds the patent for internal cam QR skewers, so they are simply way better.
