Sounds like your one of those who always tries to use the wrong size. 
The correct size will fit and operate every bit as good as Allen head.

T27 isn't included in all bit sets, but it's easy enough to find one-even the cheapo HF sets--that has it if you remember to look for it. And if you still have problem getting the screw loose, one good smack using a hand impact tool will take care of it.

I was one of those who used a T25 the first time. Swore up and down, threw things around the garage, the dog ran for her life.
Finally got a T27 and life got easier.
Most Torx sets don't come with a T27, so I can see where a mistake can be made.
+1 on the don't go cheap. I had a set of Lisle's that I chucked and bought a set of Craftsman.

So now you can try to find the right size allen wrench!
Makes no sense to me. Regardless of the type of fastener, you still need the correct size wrench.

Cheap tools are like chubby girls. Nice to have one handy if you're in a bind, but you'd never recommend one to a buddy.
