I can't recall the last time I stripped a screw using 10-24 the Official Thread of every team I am associated with.

Seriously. We have a bin with about $500 worth of every combination of 10-24 screw and length and nut and washer...

We have established a hierarchy of uses:
Socket Cap, Button Head, Flat Head
Nyloc, Low Profile Nyloc, Nut with Captured Star Washer, Standard Nut, Cinch Nut, Tapped Hole
Washer on both ends, Fender washer if you need more distributed load,
Lock Washer if no Nyloc or Star Washer.

We have purchased a bunch of driver and wrenches and drill bits for this size screw.

We almost never need other tools to work on the robot.

It is a huge help to a team to standardize.
