Tom misses the substantially more important point that you won't find an "internal wrenching bolt" with metric threading, and that functionally the thing that fixes a V-brake's cable is a metric socket head cap screw. Just as a brake pivot bolt is usually a button head socket cap screw whether its head is domed or conical.
All the drawings I've seen of V-brakes simply call the thing a cable anchor bolt. If AK went into a bike shop and asked for a V-brake cable anchor bolt He very likely be asked what kind of bolt head. However, a hex-head bolt usually will fit even if the original bolt was X head.
