Oh for %deity's sake!. There exist things called torque screwdrivers for 
this problem. And yes I have one. 

Using the cam-out of a phillips screw for this is a kludge at best. It 
doesn't happen at a precise torque (it depeds -- a lot -- on the azial 
force applied to the tool), it damages the tool, and it damages the screw 
head making it difficult to remove later.
