Soap works too, bar or liquid. And definitely pre-drill.I don't have any trouble with phillips heads if the screws are of good material with proper depth slots....just gotta keep your bit axis and screw axis in line.....but those cheap soft zinc screws that come with smaller hinges and other hardware are ridiculously worthless.
One trick I use for screws longer than 2'" is to use some beeswax on the screw,
I keep a chunk of it on hand and scrub the threads with it, makes a world of difference.
Drilling a clearance hole thru member being attached helps huge too.
