At least with the alloy one the heat has somewhere to go and because of the extra surface area can dissipate the heat more efficiently.

They make cooling heads for our engines out of alloy. Not plastic.
I also have stripped quite a few centre diff mounts. No other screws around the car seem to strip anywhere near as often as the centre diff mount ones do...
