Why is the last screw always the worst ?

I tried to remove the primary cooling fan from my 87 900 8V. I received information from this board that it would be real easy , only 3 screws. Well mine had 5, and the fifth one, on the bottom is impossible to remove. It is a torx sheet metal screw that someone had previously stripped out the head. Fortunately, I need to replace the radiator anyway, so I will put off the job until then & keep my fingers crossed.
Why is it always that last screw that gives you trouble? Always the one you can't see, or in a bad spot. It either adds aLOt of time to the job, or forces you to cancel, and reassemble what has already been dismantled? Is it Murphy's Law for do-it-yourselfers? Why can't it be the first thing you try?
