If they wanted to make them unserviceable, they would use one way screws. I assume the pentalobular screws improve mass production through more efficient torque or something like that. I have one in my toolbox, they are cheap.

Besides, Apple wouldn't necessarily want devices to be unserviceable - repair fees are a source of income as well.
