Not that kind.  Get your mind out of the gutter.

There are screws which have a hexagonal-shaped depression in the head 
which require a tool which is variously called an "Allen wrench" or a 
"hex key" to turn them.  Then there are some which have a hexagonal 
depression in the head but instead of being flat the bottom of the 
depression has a raised bump in the center, which means that a 
regular Allen wrench or hex key will not go far enough down into the 
depression to turn them.  (Which I think is the point.)  Any of you 
engineering types or handypersons know what the latter are properly 
called?  I need to open something to [attempt to] repair it, and it 
is held together with that type of screws, and since all I have are 
regular hex keys (some plain, some with ball ends), I need to know 
what kind of tool to get in order to remove and replace those 
screws.  I've tried searching on-line for things like "hex key" and 
"bump" together, with no luck so far . . .

TIA.
