Something that's been picking at my brains...

Hex will do the same thing, especially say running under the chassis of a 1/8 buggy. But I'd still much rather use hex or Torx than phillips or flathead. I keep a set of small pics to clean them out, or in a bind you can use a .050" or 1.5mm hex wrench.

I always have an Xacto knife in my tool kit and that does a great job cleaning out allen head screws on the bottoms of my chassis'

question: are torx as inexpensive as allen? and can you get them in the same hardness? or better yet,harder?

Torx is definitely top dog in my book. Not used enough. I hate slotted and would be happy to never see another one, EVER.

Have a refastening project underway on a ferry at work. We use copper screws & they are normally slot head because they're the only ones available

This time however they came as square drive! much easier & much quicker
