After he did it the first time, I linked him a nice Wiha set. He stripped more a week later because he hadn’t gotten around to buying the screwdrivers. (iFixit is great too)
One of the IT guys at my work is really good at stripping torx, but that’s because he uses a driver a couple sizes too small.
Consider post processing steps if you really need smooth parts. Sandable fillers, special paints, epoxy coatings, or just a bunch of sanding. I’ve had good luck with XTC-3D. It’s an epoxy you paint on that’s specifically designed for smoothing prints.
You could also consider a resin printer if you need smooth. They are their own can of worms, but the resolution and smoothness is good.
I usually just accept the roughness.
