    Torx bits are waaaay stronger than hex. Like double the surface area and tapered to work when corroded.

    My 30 year old VW axles with hex bolts were a nightmare. The new ones are all Torx or 12pt.

    I ended to driving an oversized Torx but into the nearly stripped hex bolts to finally remove them.
