The hex socket screws just allow the use of the ball head driver which can be used at an angle where a flex joint on a socket is then too long.

Yup. You were right. Rounded hex sockets got one off and a combination of short extensions and a regular hex socket got the other off. I did not have to move the power steering pump at all. Replacing e-torx with hex bolts is definitely a headache saver if you ever have to replace this gasket a second time. Looks Gasket was brittle, flat, and someone used RTV on it.
