3 bolts on tranny pan have stripped heads
 
The bolts are still in and heads still on, torx just not catching. Suggestions on how to get out?

I ended up just putting new fluid in and going home. I was 2 hours from home and didn’t have the parts or know how to handle.

Instructions should mention checking to see if those bolt can spin before draining fluid.
Thanks.

Those bolts are not torqued very tight, I think I had the same issue when I did my tip service, and what I did was took a dremel tool and carefully cut a slot in the head, and used a flat screwdriver to remove and replaced with new ones.
