A good measure of the detachability value is a gun that has both versions, the Perazzi. In the MX8 guise it offers a detachable trigger group. In the MX12 it is fixed.
If you have the dexterity to operate a shotgun then you can use the accompanying hex tool to remove the stock. Personally I find stock removal easier than pressing the safety forward to release the lock.
The MX8 has more stock wood removed to accomodate the double wall thickness necessitated by the removable lock in the trigger area.
And as someone mentioned above, there are plenty of nice guns, arguably the nicest, ie Dickson and Boss, that do not offer detachability, not because they could not, but because it was unnecessary.
The most buggered up screws I come across on doubles are the stock grip screws, and there is no detachable cure for those.
