I haven't used the torx variety, but allen head security screws with that central pin are not really very secure in my experience. If we didn't have the right key with us a few light taps on the pin with a screwdriver or similar would break the central pin off, now it's just a regular, unsecure allen screw. It takes very little time and might not even attract attention like cutting a chain or grinding through a lock.
