Try a 6 point 15mm socket. That is what I always use-those allen heads strip out too darn easy.

Why would you even use a Torx bit when you can use a socket? Just wondering! I have never had any luck with Torx bits. I never understood why people use an open box wrench when they can use a socket either. Just does not make sense to me. Not trying to put any one down, I just don't understand why someone would do it the hard way.

Use a socket!

can't use a socket when the bolt head is round
