In short, yes. At least as far as just drive design goes. It mostly has to do with drive angles, which is how much you have to turn the driver to turn the fastener. Hex drives have a much larger drive angle (60 degrees) than Torx/Star drives (15 degrees), leading to a greater chance of hex drives stripping out. The smaller drive angle on Torx drives form a much tighter tolerance with the Torx driver, better distributing the concentration of force throughout the drive much better than hex drives do.
