One day when I was cursing at the car trying to get a torx bolt out I wondered, Why in the hell do these euro cars have these stupid torx fasteners?
So I read up about torx fasteners a little...do you know they have the balls to claim that torx has less tendencies to cam out???? BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA!!! LIES LIES!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's some tricks I've tried...
Use an impact gun. I found the impact will give you the best shot to try to shock it loose before it strips out. I put my weight on the tool to make sure it sits in there tight and then let er rip. The first time I notice it cam out that's a wrap.
I know you normally go the blood sacrifice route, but how about we try a socket sacrifice?
Try a slightly larger sacrificial torx bit and hammer it in there.
Try an allen bit and hammer it in there.
Good luck!
