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.

do not rely on fasteners. Make https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign_furniture instead. I recomend starting with buying https://lostartpress.com/products/campaign-furniture which has plans for something that will hold up to time.
