PSA: Harbor Freight pick set saved my butt on a stripped panel screw

Grabbed the cheap $9 pick set instead of drilling out a stripped screw on a 172 cowling at our hangar in Wichita, and it backed right out in about 30 seconds. Anyone else got a go-to trick for screws that are already rounded off before you even get to them?

Those picks round out heads, in my experience. Save that for last.
