Chainring bolt stuck, never been this stuck before, but this worked first time

Personally hate the lack of technological progress in chain ring bolts. Still see on new fairly spendy bikes really naff badly sized bolts where you can't get a driver onto the back of them.
Those 5+6mm allen type have existed for at least 20 years and yet are still a rare sight

I’ve never really got that either. Why is the variant that needs a separate, fiddly to use tool, the more common one?

Cheetah in reply to @BrickMan

I agree. Whenever I buy new ones I'll always go fro 5/6 mm set. As far as I know there isn't a tool that fits the flat head type
