Default Screw question - most flexible ?

The message
from "Andrew Mawson" contains
these words:

Take a normal screw and anneal it. Modern screws are hardened and so
rather brittle. Heat to a dull red and let it cool slowly, and you
will find you can bend it as you wish.


But use a hardened one in the hole first, then take it out and run the
floppy one in.
