I don �t see any difference except that �slightly � sounds �slightly more formal � / �a lit bit more formal �.

Hi
Slightly means only a little, not very much. It �s an adverb
A little bit is a small amount.
They are synonyms and sometimes they can be interchangeable: This is a bit /slightly different.
There are instances, however when we can use only one of them.
I would like a little bit of sugar in my tea. Here a little bit means some.
I hope it helps.
