They are not broken, the teeth inside the Torx head have just rounded off to the point that I cannot undo them with the correct size Torx bit, and the next size up won't hammer in. I confess I spent more time cussing than looking for a solution. I don't encounter Torx much, outside of an iPhone.
I might try the hammering Allen or 12 point. No MIG here. Actually one of the boots is cracking so I should really service that CV joint.

Ouch! I HATE broken bolts. I've never had any luck with them. Hell, I've broken easy-outs off in broken bolts.
Pics of the broken bolts?
