Always stripping out phillips heads with those craftsman screwdrivers.

Rick, it most likely not your screwdrivers. On motorcycles and ATVs you have steel going into aluminum and be the climate we ride in they well corrode big time. Get yourself an impact driver too brake the screws loose. A tap on the head of the screw well work too, it's the shock that brakes it loose. Most impact drivers are big around but Snap-on makes a narrow one thats great for bikes. True, good screw drives do make a differences and Snap-on has some of the best, Witte (made in Germany) are every bit as good and cost about the same if you can find them in your area. Also you can add a drop of Grit too the tip of your screw driver for a better bite. Glad you like too work on em. It's how I started as a kid. I have my own business now, still enjoy going too work every day and still like too turn wrenches. Good luck with your racing and have fun.
