As a general rule you don't run the drill at full power when putting screws into wood, so go slow and don't over tighten, and remember to keep firm pressure downward so the bit doesn't slip out of the screw and strip it.

Also your drill may have a the ability to set how much torque it has, if it has a dial with numbers (usually like 1-20) you can lower that number so it can't go in to far (look at the drill on the left in fox46's picture for reference)
