I had the same thing happen and watched a tech at the dealer dip the torx into some valve lapping compound. He said it gives it some bite.
Popped it loose and didnt charge me a dime.
I did give him a thank you and a couple of bucks for helping me out.
Woodstock Harley Davidson in Woodstock Illinois. Great people.

Professional truck mechanic here for 12 years and have never heard about that! Good tip that I will probably use in the future, thank you!
