Material matters, if you use poorly made screws that's when the head gets blunted.

Torx often ends up being the worst of both worlds imo. It grabs too hard and you can easily overdrive it and strip the hole in some material. And you can also still easily strip the head if you don't get the bit seated all the way. I think the Robertson combo head is the best all around, since you have a Robertson bit for high torque applications and a Phillips bit for low torque and slightly off axis work. And then the "ecx" bit for "I'm going to friction weld this terminal screw shut" applications.

Nah, Robertson. Torx is designed to destroy bits.

Years ago when working in a boat shop at a “yachting center” aka “dudes with 20’ sailboats they’ve spent more effort repairing than their marriage” and I had a full wall of hardware.

An old school wooden hardware shelf.

My favorite thing ever in my whole life was being Willy wonka with fasteners and my rolly ladder

I'll get the torx universal wood and stone ones, thanks.

Doesn't matter. It'll still slip and partly strip it. Maybe only 1/5, but people are not machines.

They do but you have to really work at it. I see them all the time as set screws on the fans in commercial ovens. Leave a set screw in an oven for years and that bastard will be so profoundly sized that you can round out even a hex screw.
