Use Torx screws! I started to use Torx and there's no going back for me. Haven't damaged one head yet and you have to have only two screwdrivers. Size T10 for 3mm and size T20 for 4mm. You don't have to worry about stripping heads and can tighten all the screws "twice as hard". The biggest difference is with the 4mm screw that tend to strip more easily with hex but no problems with Torx.

Haven't seen Torx conversion screw set for Xray cars yet, but you can buy them youself also. And its nice to replace some screws with longer ones also.

It has way more surface between the head and the driver and that's why they don't strip.

the torx screws may be good when they dont have any dirst built up in them....but when dirt gets clogged in the head and you attempt to remove it, its really a pain to get the driver deep enough into the head to get adequate removal force on the screw....

Is there an e-shop to buy these Torx screws.
An "intenational" shop would be PERFECT.
