Perhaps not. Yes, more corners.
I was just thinking (hypothetically) that as the number of sides increases, approaching a circle, the resistance to torque would tend to decrease.

Exactly. This kind of conceptual thinking, even not for a particular goal, is what makes people smarter. It stimulates other thought.

The surface between the "angle points" does not have to be tangential. Relatively large surfaces can be formed that would be highly torque resistant.
