Round torque bolts

Try a pair of mole grips mate or pliers if you can hold it tight enough and use plenty of WD40 to make it easier

If that fails, hammer a screwdriver/socket into it.
And if that fails again, drill them out

Think it's going to be a drill out job. I can't get the mole grips on, and hammering a bigger torx socket on as not worked.

How much for the new ones mate?
I'm going to cut the heads off with a dremel and undo the spike that's left with mole grips. But I need the new ones go back in!
