Torx head... what is the point?? 850

I tried this, but the torx portion of the bolt is so large that even my biggest flathead screwdriver could barely span the torx and grip into the slots I cut with a dremel. As I applied torque, the screwdriver would slip and mangle up the bolt even more.

I also tried a screw extractor, but ended up breaking the extractor bit inside the torx bolt... argh!!

I picked up another torx bolt from Swedish Engineering today. I'm going to put antiseize on the threads, and hopefully, this won't happen next time.
