Default "auto-breakoff" head screws, or HUGE pop rivets?

I find that most self tapping screws, whilst being made of a substance
harder than diamond when you try to drill a broken one out, have heads
that deform like butter with my screwdrivers. Could you not use some
ordinary self tappers and then grind/drill/use the wrong kind of
screwdriver on them?
