Snap the bolt before you ever strip the screw. I hate regular alan keys, torx should be the default everywhere. I did lose too many torx bits when impacting though
I'm actually conflicted; I have a lot more trouble with torx at work than I do alan, but phillips are universally a problem. The torx keys don't stick in the hole and can't be tilted at odd angles where as alan keys with a ball head can, and do stick in the hole to some degree which lets me free-spin it if I have clearance. I've ruined a lot more torx from over-torgue than I have alan keys. I would take torx over alan keys if it meant I never had to see a phillips again, though
I have no idea how you managed to overtorque a torx honestly. Especially since you say alan key doesn't do that. Alan keys are okay-ish when used on M5 and more. But stripping smaller screws than that is so common it's almost useless. Also good alan keys have a small ball bearing on them on the ball side which lets you hold the screw on it or "free spin" as you call it.
The torx we got in the toolset I use are probably just kinda shitty, honestly
Try a Wera, that's what I run now. Expensive but worth it. Got both alan, alan imperial and torx.
Fuck that Alan guy
