One thing that may be contributing to you stripping gears is misalignment. Gear mesh is very important but also you need to have as much of the pinion aligned and in full contact with the spur so that you get 100% contact or as close as you can get.

I had to do a lot of shimming when I went to the VS058 and I had to put a spacer between 1st and 2nd gear pinions in order get a good full gear to gear alignment.
