Because a 6 point socket isn't going to remove this... In my experience, these bolts are often used for high pressure/torque/heat applications or a small footprint is required. Engine head bolts, exhaust header bolts, ect... ect...



EDIT: I have never seen one on our 250's/300's, but I haven't completely disassembled a 250/300 engine.
