I tend to insert the screw, then turn it back, (aka counter-clockwise), until I feel / hear the click. Then tighten no more than easy turns between 2 fingers on the jewelers screw driver.
Not many do the anti-clockwise click to engage the threads totally worth it to avoid cross-threading.

To the OP: you were totally crazy to use a power tool on the screws, asking for trouble. Did not stop after breaking the first one just carried on. Please use a screwdriver instead of power tools next time when you receive your replacement case that you have paid for NB check it comes with screws.
