Front upper screw and its neithe use a t18 torx. Bit and an impact driver to remove it then replace it wit a regular metric bolt

Its basically just got a dot in the top of it. You knock the torx bit down into it to force it to the shape of the bit so you can turn it. I guess you could use a t18, but Ive heard t15 also.

if you use a sharp chisel and hit the top of the screw you can use a flthead screwdriver to get it out

There are many the torx bit works best and beside you really need the impact driver to get the plate screws loose imo

yeah, tried just the torx... stripped it out, chiseled a flat head, screw driver didnt do the trick so i wound up using the chisel and hammer to turn the screw out, it comes out eventually
