Default Can round carbide endmills be adequately held by setscrews

I am anticipating an answer that I will not like, but anyway: I have a
number of carbide end mills (large number) and a lot of QC30 toolholders
that hold tools with a setscrew. Most of my endmills have no flats on
sides. If I hold one with a setscrew, is that adequate for real life
milling? I was able to mill machinable wax like that, but obviously
this is not a real test.
