I opened up a 2017 or 18 Dell Inspiron last week to replace the hard disk with an SSD for someone. Of the 4 screws holding down the hard drive caddy, 1 stripped the head. The other three used almost no force to remove. This last one had to be drilled out just to remove the drive.
If the computer had used Torx screws in place, I'd never have had the issue since the force required wouldn't have stripped the head while a PH head had cammed the driver requiring the excess use of a drill.
