Fastener size

Does anybody know what size of torx, or Allen or whatever fits these things. T30 doesn't fit in tight, neither does any Allen, sae or metric. WTH? Finally had to break them loose very carefully with a vice grip. What gives?

Well, now that you have broke them loose... why not extract them using the same method... take to Home Depot and replace them with more user friendly bolts

That is a Capital idea, but I'd still like to know what they are.

I saw that chart earlier today investigating wether there was a t35 torx, no such thing. T30 stripped/spun in the hole. T27- way too small, t40 way too big. Some special HD size maybe? Available only at HD? Hahaha
