I wasn't sure where to post this, since my old Porsche does not have Torx fasteners, and I don't know if the new ones do or not. Regardless, people own other cars, and have doubtless run into these evil incarnate fasteners. It seems that every time I try to get one out, it strips. Are these things made of CheezWhiz?

The solution? Take the next bigger size up and tap it into the stripped out hole in the old one. In most cases, the larger size will "bite" into the hole and you'll be able to remove the stripped fastener and put it where it belongs--in the trash.
