    Do not buy harder material, your problem is the tools you are using, buy a quality screwdriver, I have never stripped a laptop screw using the correct size Wera screwdriver.
    The whole point to using a soft screw is to preserve the £50+ lid you are screwing into. A screw costs pennies to replace!

    I expect they are the same as the 9550, in that case someone did find a supplier but I don't know what post it's on.
