Hex head screws don't increase your chance of stripping anything unless you go hulk on the Allen wrench like an idiot. Those stock screws strip easy.
It IS faster if you know what you're doing to get the caps off and shim the needles than to take the carbs out. That's true for air box, modded air box, AND pod filters (ive run all three). However, the first time doing it will be faster to just remove the carbs. I can get my needles height changed without removing the carbs in 15 minutes from start to finish. I just did it 3 days ago. I've also done it 12-15 times between jetting for 4 different setups. Never any diaphragm issues

Don't sweat it. You can buy a new rebuildable carb on ebay for about $100.
