Default Driveshaft Woes

I've got all but two bolts out! The others won't come out with my T40 bit.

Suggestions for the other 2?

Where can I purchase more?

Thanks guys.

Any decent bolt supplier should do these cap heads, just don't use SS ones.
I would either try grips, if enough to grip hold of, or failing that as said chisel.
When you have fitted the new ones, fill the spline/hole with gasket sealant, this goes semi hard after a few weeks, protects the head from corrosion, so next time just dig it out and spline fitting will be fine to use.
