Earlier quoted context omitted.
Phillips is incompatible with thread lock assuming you want to take them out. If threadlock is not used the removal torque is actually less than the insertion and it shouldn't be a problem in this case.
I wish auto manufacturers knew this.
They do. Cars are engineered to fail and some models are sold even at loss to get the profit from OEM parts and service. This is also often the reason why seemingly similar parts are incompatible from one model to the next; the manufacturers are racing against the (often much more durable) aftermarket parts. If they were in the business of making cars great for the consumers, they'd engineer them strong with grease fittings on every moving joint and have all parts standardized across models and brands, differentiated mostly by car size or such (supercompact vs crossover suv vs heavy-duty truck). This would however result in cars that would be easily maintained to last forever, like some old work equipment is and that'd be bad for the planned obsolescence market model of car manufacturers.
