You'll find torx on high end stuff because it allows a smaller bolt head. Sure, you can replace with Allen heads of the same size, but they won't take as much torque.

Thomson should probably consider them... silly little 3mm button heads aren't right for a stem. The bolts are hard enough to not strip, but I broke an Allen key trying to get enough torque on the two bolt bar clamp...
