Good point Chuckk, about inspecting the working end of the tool for rounding.
I imagine that problems can be prevented by first cleaning the splines out so the tool goes in all the way. The way I do this is to simply tap the tool inward with a small hammer, which makes a different sound when the splines hit bottom.
