Is this toolkit for roadside repairs or regular servicing work at home? I'm just surprised you'd be considering taking a new bike to bits, particularly with the 'no fiddling' terms (implied if not actual) that come with warranties. If nothing else take Andy's advice and get some JIS screwdrivers / bits if you're going to be removing cross headed screws. Philips profile bits will mark JIS heads when they slip out. Maybe not every one but enough for the dealer to wonder what else is mangled when he's considering your warranty claim.
My rule of thumb with trip prep work has been to replace some of the cross headed screws with allen headed ones. Some, but not all. The dividing line comes with stuff I might reasonably consider 'roadside' fixable - they get the allen head stuff. Anything beyond that I stick with the original screws. If I have to undo those on a trip it's either a recovery truck or a workshop somewhere.
