Why won't the drill bit remove the screw?

I know this may be hard to troubleshoot online but

***The screw is NOT stripped.
***The drill and drill bit DO go together.
***100% sure the drill is not in reverse

When I go to remove the screw, the bit bounces off it, so I cannot remove the screw.
This happens even when j go as slowly as the drill allows.

The bit retracts into the drill and bounces off the screw...

What am I doing wrong?

I have probably near 100 screws that need to be removed and I will not do them all by hand

Alright I run into this all the time. I assume it’s philips? With Philips there are three different sizes #1#2#3. A no one can fit into a no two and it will just bounce. Get different size bits and make sure you have the correct size.

That’s the make or brand of the tool It’s hard to help you without seeing what you’re doing. I’ll see if I can find some pictures @iamnikki

@iamnikki are these the bits you are using?

@FeralMindset a flat head bit

Alright that’s even worse. It’s very difficult to extract a flathead with a drill. It can be done though. Same thing see if you can get another larger bit@iamnikki
