That Sears Drill-Out / Bold-Out...
looked pretty convincing on TV. Clicky image below...

I think those fender torx screws are set at a billion lbs...
I tried to loosen one the other week, and I thot I would snap the srewdriver before I loosened that bad-boy. Think no choice but to drill that f--ker out.

I paid $30 for it -- it was junk. All it did was cut a really smooth cone into the head of the screw
A screw soft enough to get stripped is probably soft enough to not let it bite.
Waste of money.
