Use a torque wrench and stripping problems will go away. I had the same problems you describe.
whenever my allen wrench ends get worn out i just cut it a little shorter with a dremel.

The socket type are good but they get broken easy.
The socket type are good but they get broken easy. Not because they are weaker, but because the ratchet handle applys more torque. I like the L shaped ones because I can feel the torque being applied in the flex of the smaller sizes.
x2, dont get those crappy L shaped hex keys, you always end up loosing them. The ones to fit on a ratchet are the best.
