That's the whole difference between torx vs Phillips.

Theoretically, you should never break a screw shaft with Phillips because they are designed to cam out before enough torque is applied to break the shaft of the screw.

It's supposed to be a feature

Still gonna use torx because once a philips cams out the screw as well ss the tool tip is useless

I believe this is actually a myth, post-hoc reasoning to explain away a shitty design
