Idk man, I’ve been working IT for 10 years and have never stripped a torx. Didn’t know it was possible

Tech products often use stainless steel bolts, which are a lot softer than a normal steel

I’d say by sheer count the majority of Torx screws I’ve encountered have been for deck boards, not tiny tech screws. And they were excellent.
