I understand your frustration. Sucks when s@#t like that happens on anything. I curse ALOT but not like you posted. No need to blame God.
Just like whats been said, Dremel a slot, warm it up, and impact it out with a flat screwdriver.

Do you know what he said?
"Because torx bolts suck and were made by the Devil."

Get them out and replace with 1/4 -20 chrome allen heads from the hardware store, then praise the lord for job well done.

One problem people have with torx is, Harley uses torx plus. They are a little beefier than the regular torx. You can get them at Sears, or any of your better tool supplier.
