Only hex, torx can fuck off.

Torx are great. They do the same as hex, but better.

It's a lot more difficult to mess up a torx screw than hex

Torx are pretty much a single use screws. That's why mountain bike brake rotor replacements always come with fresh screws - you undo old ones and 99.9% they will be busted.

All screws are kind of single use, if you replace the part you should also replace the bolts.

But if you bust a torx in a single rotation (screw/unscrew) it's either very shit quality or you're doing something very very wrong. Maybe try a torx bit of a correct size instead of a hammer?

It's not a hammer issue, it's a torx issue. They're just shit.

I think it's an user issue
