Default transmission fill bolt replace with hex head?

So I gotta chance to flush the transmission fluid yesterday and it was such a pain in the *** to get an allen in for the fill bolt with the cooler there, has anyone considered finding a Hex Head bolt so that a crows foot, or combination wrench can be used?

I went to the Hex plug because it was difficult to fit allen head tool between case and cooler.
I don't safety wire mine.
Counting on fastening TQ and crush washer friction..
