Man that ruins a couple of hours denny, torx me off
switch over to a regular head or allen head bolt; but they are magnetical

if you're daring drive in a bigger size or a bit larger metric and ease er out

I was lucky it was just the Torx head I rounded out, I hammered a allen head socket , attacked the ratchet . and BINO , It cam out.
