A hex bolt relies on a 60 degree angle while the Torx bit relies on a 15 degree angle. The significantly smaller drive angle forms a much tighter tolerance, which better distributes the concentration of force to all points and therefore allows for much higher torque values before rounding out.Jul 15, 2018
