well knowing that you could learn how to use a lath and turn you own screws

Now that I think about it some of them are round head, but whatever. I don't like the idea of using allen heads, I think a better investment is the right size screwdriver. Philips #2 should never strip them if you are doing it right. Now that I only have one pair of bindings that isn't broken I swap them back and forth between two boards depending on if I'm riding park or free riding and I've never had a problem with stripped screws.
More likely you will dimple the bottom of the board if you are over tightening.
