I stripped out the bolt head trying to remove on of mine.

Going to have to get creative with the 3 smaller torx bolts on the front of bumper support...

You can also remove them with a big Allen key but not to sure of the size

That is if they in fact have a allen head.

Have to drill mine out...

They don't have a Allen head they are t55 but a Allen key will fit and is tougher than a t55
