Default Brass security screws?

I am about to fix a small brass plate to the front door. The door is

cleaned the rest of the brass!)

I'd like to use some brass screws, but wondered about security screws in
case some scrote decides to nick it (not sure how likely this is, though).

Can you get brass security screws, or are they too soft to work? Even
Torx or Torx+pin would be good; I don't really want the 'one way' ones.

Perhaps you could get Philips/Pozi Brass screws, and then countersink the
screw head after fitting? Tho' TBH I am not sure if these exist, given the
relative softness of brass.

Just a thought...
