But not #1, or most of #2, in common stainless alloys. Even dry film lubed and drill tip is insufficient to prevent the torque from exceeding the (relatively low) yield strength, leading to stripped screws from standard driving in any wood denser than about G=0.45. There's simply not enough contact area to prevent it.

Stainless fasteners are niche and require stainless tools, full-stop.

Most fasteners are not stainless.

You really don't want to use stainless tools as they will plastically deform. Roberson is just not that great for torque-transfer geometry; it's advantages lie elsewhere.

They are made specifically for stainless fasteners.

You'll frequently find them in the toolbags of aerospace professionals and industrial electricians and they are really the only folks that deal with a lot of stainless fasteners.

Bicycle and motorbike folks have lots of stainless hardware, too. And lots of time you'll see folks blame JIS/Phillips on ruining their fasteners, but sometimes it's just because they're using toolsteel tools on stainless fasteners.
