I applied some grease to the cs holes like you suggest - of course my holes (ooerr) are already "used" so the friction is already less, but I appreciate what you say, and they felt easier to remove, less sticking.
I am sure it will help, but I don't think the chassis is really to blame, perhaps it is the cause of the really tight screws, but also the screws are simply not deep enough - deeper, better screws would not strip so easily, so it's a bad coincidence that these two factors are together. Shallow screws and very hard to remove! Nightmare!

I will advise people to apply a tiny ammount of grease to the CS chassis holes to help this problem, but also suggest replacing the screws if possible with deeper ones.
