"and managed to get a screw using the M5.5 head manually."
Not sure what you meant here. Did you break off the head and need to drill out the shank?
For removing or installing 6 screws, I would just use the handle that came with the set. Using a powered anything on such small screws can only make things worse.

i tried last week using that head on my screwdriver and only manage to get one of the screws removed. So i was wondering if I should use an electric screw, but i understand I might strip it.

Would anyone advise to get a electric screwdriver or drill for this?
Electric power tools will more than likely strip the head, either loosening or tightening.
If its too tight to undo with nut driver handle, then put a 1/4" ratchet on it.
Use the nut driver handle to tighten, not the ratchet, less likely to strip when tightening.
If you put your socket on the head of screw, and twist it with your fingers back and forth, if there is movement, it is too big.
