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?
