Stripping Nipples

I dont know why this happens to me. But I strip nipples all the time. Strip them so that my spoke wrenches have nothing to grab onto.

The problem is the nipple that gets stripped is always the one i need to adjust and i end up having to cut the spoke out and relace a new one.

With every nipple i adjust i put the spoke wrench on and see if there is any wobble. If its really tight i use it, if there is wobble or i cant get it on then i try the appropriate spoke wrench. So i dont feel like i am using the wrong wrench. I also always push them all the way on.

Why does this keep happening to me? It is a HUGE hassle!
