    Stripped the torx bolts

    I have a 320i Auto, that i'm replacing the sump on. I have been unable to remove the 4 torx bolts that hold the gearbox to the plate. 2 of the four have been stripped and one is under two solid lines and the last one is a big Mother F*cker. Any ideas?

    Its the 4 brass X style bolts. Do they have to come off?

          Probably because they (or a previous mechanic) didnt use the right freaking sockets!!!!
