[QUOTE="DOWNS, post: 439002, member: 21038"] A smaller impact gun can help in these situations. Also, I've noticed people tend to select one size too small when using torx bits. It should be a tight fit with no rotational play at all unless it's already worn out. . The next size down will seem to fit well but will have a tiny bit of play and that will be enough to strip out even a moderately tight fastener. Make absolutely sure you're using the right ones. I've also had luck with these in the past. I use the impact gun and push hard on the rounded top of the torx bolt and it usually twist it out.
