If you are patient and keep failing and don't want to drill the screw out, mix up a tiny dab of JB Weld, stick a blob into the stripped head, then imprint a torque bit into the blob. If its too runny you'll have to give it a little time to setup before imprinting. Then just unscrew it when it's cured. I've had this work on completely stripped heads. (to prevent the JB Weld from sticking to the screwdriver bit lightly oil the driver bit)

If the screw is raised at all, file a small slot into the top and use a flathead. Another tried a tested why is to use a fine point needle, or file, and with the tip on any available anchor point, tap it and force the screw to turn CCW until you can grab it.

Get stripped screw extracting bits. Looks like a drill bit mixed with a regular bit that catches and then pulls it as you tighten and it digs in. It's an absolute need because drilling it out is almost never needed. I've never drilled a screw out since I've had those special bits. I always make sure I have new replacement screws, but use a star bit head because stripping is almost impossible. I'll give a free screw driver or free bit to my customers who really appreciate that little change I do for free. Any and all repairs, mods, upgrading or cleaning get a free screw replacement on all screws. In bulk, on average it's about $1 for the screws and bit or screwdriver they get.
