Yes, but what happens when you try to *remove* a screw from wood
that's past its best? You have to push axially onto a screw with a

doesn't actually come out. Whereas with a torx screw, you can rotate
it without pressing on it - so it comes out easily.

What's a rusty torx screw like to get out?

Prolly still rusty ...
