Yes, I see no benefit to having a lame torx fastener into plastic so I went digging into my fastener drawer and found some common Phillips head that were a good match. I never looked back. Needle nose vice grips take em right out.

Germans do so many things so well and then... Torx??? Really??? :chicken:
