Harley Benton Parts Pickguard Screws Black

Perhaps a bit harshly titled; nonetheless the set of HB pickguard screws I bought have proven to be too fragile for me. Even if the hole in the pick guard aligns perfectly with the one in my bass, the "slots" or "scores" on these screws are easily worn out if you're not VERY careful and patient.
While they get the job done, it's slow and cumbersome to work out a worn screw, and particularly annoying if you thought you were careful to begin with.

Some things can be too cheap, it seems.
