here take a look at this article

Whether you hate Nokia or love I'm happy they didnt do this since I had to open my N900 couple of times One time becaue there was water under screen and other time I was just curious how it looks and what was colour of PCB

Who forbids you to get a box of Torx screwdrivers? For all different shapes and sizes...
EDIT: And all kinds of torx screws themselves to put in instead of destroyed.

By design, Torx head screws resist cam-out better.
Where Phillips heads were designed to cam out, to prevent over-tightening, Torx heads were designed to prevent cam-out.
The reason for this was the development of better torque-limiting automatic screwdrivers for use in factories.

Rather than rely on the tool slipping out of the screw head when a torque level is reached, risking damage to the driver tip, screw head and workpiece, the driver design achieves a desired torque consistently.

The manufacturer claims this can increase tool bit life by ten times or more.
