Most torx bits have a hex shaped shaft that fits inside the box end of a wrench perfectly. Cut a cheap torx out of the part that locks on the ratchet, grab the appropriate wrench, and go. Do that one first and once it's loose enough you can probably finger twist it the rest of the way.
That all said, I got lazy and just left mine there....

Not to be a smart-***, but why is it important to replace the screws? They are tapped into blind holes. No oil comes out when you remove them. I did replace mine (the two I unscrewed, and left the remains of the one I cut the head off), but I do not know why this would be necessary. Just curious.

I took an angle grinder to mine. And then threaded a nut over the stump, so it doesn't snag on wash rags.
