By default if precautions aren't made, yes you can strip TKR1333 with some effort. There are a few things you can do to help prevent this.

1) Quality driver, quality driver, quality driver. Even if you have a cheap handle but want to buy a good quality tip (hudy, even protek brands seem decent), many are interchangable.
2) Use chapstick or oil to assist with the first threading. This will make things much easier.
3) On the first threading go slow and take breaks switching from side to side. It's a long screw and a long thread, so you actually can build up quite a bit of heat on the material.
4) Last but not least, it's not really needed if you follow some of the above, but buy an extra screw pack and use one for the initial thread screw then put in a good screw afterwards.
