As for your question, I don't believe demons are ever shown to be subtle in the Bible. You got guys tied up by trees away from the village, foaming at the mouth type deals. I'd hardly call that subtle.
I just did a search of the term "demon" throughout the Bible and couldn't find any NT references that would indicate subtle demons. Maybe you can do better.

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
The serpent started out more subtle than any beast of the field. He has gotten so subtle that folks don't even believe that he is an influence in the lives of Christians today. He has gotten so subtle that people expect a little red critter with a tail, pitchfork and horns, or foaming at the mouth, or tied to trees. Are his minions any less subtle? I don't think so.
The presence of
evil is proof enough of the presence of
evil spirits!! This seems obvious to me.
