Saw the short end off so you can chuck it in a drill and assemble your coffee table 3 times faster.

    Who owns a drill and a saw, but not a simple set of bits? I've never encountered a screw from Ikea that couldn't be handled by a standard bit. It's all Philips head and hex and only in like four sizes over all furniture.

    Also a drill isn't really good for this. You're quite likely to cause damage. Use an impact driver if you have one. Or if you get a small electric screwdriver, it's more than worth the cost when you use it on a single ikea build.
