Stripped the torx bolts

[joshe320i]

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?

Why do people have such a hard time with these ?

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

Got them off. They fucked now and so are 3 of my torx sockets
