Default Swap old case for new one but.........

Please Login to Remove!

So I got a new case for my phone ,and it looks much better ,but to get it perfect I had to install and remove the screws a few times to get it all lined up properly.

I forgot to exchange the flash from the old case ,but the torx heads on the bolts or whatever they are are rounded off!!

Does anyone know a safe way to remove these?
I have a new set on order ,but they wont do any good If I cant remove the old ones.

Thanks for any feedback!

I had to take the screws in and out a few times to get everything to fit together the way it should.
The holes in the new case are VERY tight, and I guess the torx heads werent designed to be taken out multiples times. They rounded easily.

Its not like used a torque wrench or anything.

Usually they round because you are using the wrong size torx, or are trying to use a screwdriver tip instead. Usually you can remove damaged torx by locating the proper size driver and very carefully twisting them out. Applying more pressure down to force the driver tip into the screw head. I'm not sure of the exact size on a BB, but try hitting a Radio Shack for a mini kit.
