While your there pick up a left handed hex driver and some black and white striped paint.
Really?? Strip screw powder??? Never heard of it. How does it work? I cant see how sprinkling some powder on the outside of a screw will help, or is it like a pressure sensitive glue that helps the hex grip the inside of the screw head?
I've always used the dremel to slot the head and as long as you keep the groove neat and as thin and straight as possible you shouldn't have a problem. The beauty of a clutch bell screw is it sits proud of the surface so you can get a nice groove without damaging anything else. Countersunk head screws and grub screws are the worst.
