if you have been using a torx bit, that may be why its slipped and chewed up, the proper bit would never come out...


They do look similar, torx have a lot deeper teeth though don't they. I'm surprised a torx would even fit that well

Torx are only six point arent they?
Is there any possibilty hes got some after market bolts fitted that are torx?
