Confirmat screws or a different screw? (sopuli.xyz)

I'm about to start putting together some simple furniture and one thing I want is to have the option to collapse it, if I need to move it out of a room.

I've looked into confirmat screws and those are incredibly strong but have the downside of requiring specialized drill bits to use. These screws I can get easily in my market, in 500 units boxes.

Are there other options I can look into?

Added information

Material to be used will either be OSB3 or plywood.

I know myself well enough to know that trying to emulate the drilling profile required for these screws would result in disastrous outcomes.

Buying the special drill bit is an option, although not on one of those retailers, for geographical reasons, but the money put towards it could be used to buy another type of screw that could offer similar results to the confirmat, with no added tools required.
