Since strings can hold only so much pressure a screwdriver would wear down the strings rather quickly.

I'm not trying to offend you mr dave if I did haha
I was just answering the question with an answer.
no worries, just that you're the only person to specify that it would be bad for the guitar strings. i think we just interpret the use of the screwdriver differently. i'm thinking of it more like a slide that goes between or below the strings. guess it really depends on the particulars of the OPs playing style.
