      How would a guy removed a torx bit oil plug that's been stripped out? I just went to go do my oil and not only did the bolt get stripped, but it's in there really good.

      If doable, get a dremel then just make a flathead able to be used in it, that's what I do for most stripped screws/bolts

      It's not likely that it's stripped. Make sure you have the proper size torx bit - one that is an attachment for a 3/8 drive ratchet wrench. Tap on the bolt first with a hammer to loosen it. Add leverage to the ratchet if necessary to break it loose.
