How should I store the screws?

Can these screws be used outdoors?

Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping during installation.
Use the correct size and type of screwdriver. Apply firm, steady pressure when turning. If the head is already stripped, consider using a screw extractor or a larger screw.
Screw is too loose.
Ensure the correct size screw is being used. If the hole is too large, consider using a larger diameter screw or filling the hole with wood filler before reinserting the screw.
Screw is not going in straight.
Ensure the pilot hole is straight and correctly aligned. Start the screw slowly and ensure it is going in straight before applying full force.
