Default Removing Lower fairings

I was wanting to take the lowers apart to see if a i have a leak at the sensor in he left radiator. The screws that hold the inner to the outer just spin. I guess drilling them out comes to mind, unless i'm missing something here. These are the two you access from the inside under the radiator and they look to go into bushings that are in the outer part of the fairing under the grills. Being a torx bit doesn't help much either. Is there some way to hold these little bushing while backing the screws out ? THANKS !
