I just went to double check and the drain plugs both take a T-40 torques to get them in or out.

 

What saved my *** a few times rebuilding my 95 softail is a full set of reverse threaded drill bits. It has brought out every stripped bolt I've come across easily. Auto zone has a decent set.

 

Grub wcrews can be a real PITA! Especially when tucked in below a motor

 

In a low torque situation, sometimes the use of a flat bit in a 1/4 socket is enough to grab and turn the female torx bolt head.

 

A T40 wouldn't even fit in mine after it was stripped though.
Perhaps it's already been replaced once, or as you wrote in another thread:

"You might want to take a closer look at it.
The plug part number is 739A which is used on a shitload of primarys.
(All the EVO ones I looked at) and it is actually a T-30 Torx head.

Don't get me wrong you can easily take it out with an allen but it is actually a torx."

 

Thank you all for the input!
I won't be seeing the bike in a few weeks now, but the plan is to first try hammering in a bigger Torx and if that doesn't work, I'll drill it out a bit and try with an extractor.
I'll let you know how it goes.

 

I don't know wither if I didn't remember right or I had a brain fart when I wrote that.
All I can say is that a T-30 is just too small and no one's perfect.
If a T-40 won't fit now the plug has been deformed by using the wrong thing to try and take it out.
Can you tap a T-40 into it?

 

Take a small 5/16" cold chisel and tap it out.

 

It’s a T40 Torx.

 

I'd recommend using a quality set of extractors before resorting to drilling. Can't go wrong with MAC. Here is the set I have. They work great.
