Hex heads tend to be a lot deeper than torx though.

Huh????
Up here in the rust belt there is usually nothing left for any torx bit
to grab onto, good quality or crap quality.
I always figured those damn torx bolts were just a pure rip off money
maker for the dealer when having to do any repairs. They always have to
be drilled out and tapped for a proper bolt to go back in so you can add
an extra half hour's labor for each bolt that has to come off.
