my dumb ass just stripped the heads of two of the t-30 torx screws that hold the TB against the intake mannifold. damnit. how tight are the freakin things on there? or am i doing this wrong? i bought some torx bits from sears.. which don't even fit.. then i went and got some from k-mart that DO fit, but they refuse to actually do anyhting but strip the head because they're in so tight. ???

whats going on.. i've got to get them off if i'm going to change the TB/intake gasket. and i think taking it off will make removing the whole manifold easier (which is step 2). but i can' get any of this done till these freakin' bolts come out.
