so I noticed that the previous owner Attempted to remove the alignment screw on the front rotors and totally destroyed the torx insert on the head of the screw. I am looking for ideas on how to remove this screw from the rotor. I rather not drill out if possible. I am including a picture of what I screw I am talking about. Any ideas would be great.
I would use a hand held impact driver, the kind you whack with a hammer. If that doesn't work, meaning the torx bit still wont grab because it's badly deformed, use a dremel to slice a groove into the top and use the impact driver. Don't forget to use some PB Blaster on the bolt.
