https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6ImKbpkoVkWhat came to mind to me was a simple version -
perhaps it already exists - a standard hex in the recessed
area and a 1-time "cap" that is forced fit so it's flush.
Destroy the cap for removal - it's the cheap part.
I'm imagining it fitting as perfect as the back of a watch.
... and could even have a gasket for water resistance ..
.. no special tools.

It's not the "flush" that makes it special, it's the machining so that there is no
visible seam between the body of the screw and "cap".

Very slick. He mentioned a hidden drawer as an application. Why not a
latch with this feature, rather than a screw? Perhaps a dummy for
balance. I'd buy it in (very) low quantities.

That is a real cool idea but not for the aplications he demonstrates.
It would be much less expensive to us a normal sized bolt in a recessed
hole and covered by a disposable/replaceable press in bezel/cover.
His bolts would also need a special nut.

When I was at Hamilton-Standard that thing would have been great on

It seems a bit too fussy to live in the rough and tumble of real life.
The fit between screw head body and spring-loaded filler is very
close. I wonder how well that screw will work after the furniture
piece is varnished or even waxed.'
And, the screw better be made of stainless steel.

Why? It could be standard 1/4-20 'T' nut, or whatever.

Remove the bolt before finishing the piece. It's a good idea anyway.
Don't you remove drawers/doors from furniture before finishing?
And, the screw better be made of stainless steel.
Just for the looks, though people use brass knobs too.

In that case probably so but the one he was demonstrating looked to have >threads in the 1" diameter range.
