Not with the craptastic tools you guys use. Plus the general thumb fingered, hoof handed, club footed skills most of have. And yes, I exclusively use a JIS spec’ed driver for Japanese cross head screws. The fit is far better and I have far few issues removing those screws.
People who don’t do that have often ended up paying $100 per screw removal to me to un-fuck their ignorance. I have spent so much money on tools for broken bolt/screw removal that it isn’t even funny anymore.
Our Phillips tips follow the ISO 8764-1 standard, which is compatible with the JIS standard B 4633. In fact, of the three main standards, ASME, ISO, and JIS, the least strict standard is JIS. As shown below, the JIS dimensions almost all fall within the ASME or ISO acceptable dimensions. Therefore, any Phillips screwdriver, such as our new Tekton Phillips screwdrivers, can be made to meet JIS standards. In fact, you should expect that all well-made drivers that meet the ASME or ISO standards will also meet the JIS standard.

At least you didn’t leave the toolkit in the rain and almost burn the house down by leaving the soldering iron plugged in for a week.
Yes, I’m still alive.
And yes, I used a Phillips screwdriver in JIS and vice versa multiple times.

New; not 40 years old. But I mostly use my relatively new toolkit now, so I’m pretty much fine.
The important bit is further down
