Might be good to wear safety glasses too...  a piece of steel flying into your eye could ruin your whole day!

+1 of grinding the tip off.  I still have my early 1970's Craftsman impact driver and all the original trimmed bits and never a broken one.   Also allows the bit to seat deeper into the Philips or JIS head for a better grip.  If it bottoms out on the original point chances are the blades are not fully seated in the screw slots.  I learned this from a boat mechanic who had to deal with corroded screws in outboards used in salt water.
