Its gotten to the point that i went to home depot and got all stainless steel phillps screws to replace the hex ones and havent had a problem since.

We're sorry you're continuing to have issues with the lid screws backing out. Did you try Loctite as we have suggested? I'm not sure what difference it would make going from hex screws to phillips head screws, but if that worked for you I guess it's all that matters. We have considered including star washers with the lid screws, but some have concerns with the star washers (or similar lock washers) scratching up the anodizing on the lid, hence why we've been recommending blue Loctite.
