Although I am not math phobic, I just have never seen math the way my DS7 sees it. Actually, until I read The Mathematician's Lament, I didn't know that math could be seen as the beautiful art form that it is. Right now, I see science as being my DS's strength. But he is also mightily strong in math. Not because he can see and learn all the facts quickly (he is actually slow with the facts). He sees the exquisite beauty in math. And when I look at math now, I try to see it through his eyes and I have a whole new appreciation for it.
Though I do outsource now (EPGY and tutorials with DH who is a subject expert), I can keep up and help DS until calculus with the day to day math. I'm on my phone now, so no sure if i am coming across clearly. My points are what others have said, feel free to outsource and also, if your DS is one of those kids who has a love and appreciation for the beauty of math, try to look at the subjeCT in a different way. You may find yourself less phobic.
