Yeah, hex is very nice but hex is improvement over it.

I have not checked on it, but I’m like 97.25% sure wood screws jumped from Philips to torx however because of corrosion resistance. Hex is very easy to round already as is on smaller sizes, but even more so if the head is exposed to elements and corroded. Of course material matters a lot, but even stainless corrodes over time.

Torx has to be very, very bad condition for it to round, it’s more likely for the screw to snap
