Torx screws are screwing me over
#5
It's hard to tell because of the damge to them, but is there any chance those screws would be Torx Plus screws? The difference between Torx and Torx Plus is that the Plus is a different shape. regular Torx sockets are a hexobular shape with a 15º pressure angle. Torx Plus is more like a spline drive with a 0º pressure angle.

See if you can post a close-up photo of an undamaged one. What size Torx wrench are you using, and have to tried the "next size up"? If it's a regular Torx shape such as T10, get a Wiha or Bondhus tool. If you think it may be T0IP (Torx Plus), try getting a T10IP wrench and test the fit.
