    Don't forget 'Tri-lobial', as used to screw the lids down on small aluminium boxes. I think the RS and Farnell ones are available with Posidriv heads. My nearly-new Triumph motor-cycle has lots of Torx, some with a bead of Loc-Tite in a shallow groove along the shank, that combination will stall a reasonable-sized electric drill even when the bit is fully located in the screw head (as it should always be). You know that your drill was not big enough when the smoke escapes.
