I try to drive mine in at an angle. If they should hit a rock you will have a better chance to deflect off of it instead of trying to drive through it.

copper being stripped away that easily.  Any truth to this?

It depends totally on where you live. The only valid generalization
about driving ground rods is: "Local Mileage WILL Vary".
