I've read that the Phillips was designed to cam out before it reached
damaging torque levels, like the hex drive or Robertson. Kimball refined
this to an art form by spinning bits in Phillips head screws until a smooth
conical crater formed, eliminating all hope of removing the screws at some
later date. Other manufacturers tried, but never quite reached Kimball's
level of expertise at screw head stripping.
