Not sure why I would be worried about the writing on a screwdriver, but I suppose a fine or ultra-fine tipped Sharpie would work. Of course it too will wear off.

OP is probably asking because that looks like a pistol grip ratcheting driver. Probably part of a collection?

It can be filled very carefully I'm sure, I have no idea how to go about it.

I use a Lacquer Stik paint stick for stuff like that. I haven’t tried a Snap-on hard handle, but as long as there’s some depth to the imprint to trap the paint stick, those things can fill in quite nicely. They’re available in a modest range of colors.

Same here, I use Markal Laquer Stiks for filling/restoring stamped/engraved lettering. As mentioned needs some depth for these paint sticks to work, like filling in with a Crayon.

I've also got a couple of hard handle Snap-ons with worn lettering. I haven't tried but I don't think these Laquer Stiks will work, not on mine anyway, way too shallow.

(They don't come in these tubes when you buy them)
