Stripping is almost always user error and i personally don't like torx. But I'm down for any of them if made a singular a standard!

Maybe user error, but hex comes in both us and metric and the difference is often just tight enough to strip it or loose enough you can pound it in with a hammer. Torx only comes in 1 scale.

What do you personally take issue with?
