Default Torx Bolts

Hi all, got to remove one of my rear driveshafts to replace split gaiter. The 6 torx bolts holding driveshaft in place at either end are rusted solid, (not had much joy with WD40 either!) Any ideas on how to free these up a bit before I risk rounding them off with torx socket?

not good that mate but i would think you gonna have to heat them up or get a heavy duty impact driver on them, good luck looks like you may have to do some drilling then bang some copper grease on the new ones just in case
