Seriously? I strip those damned things all the time when they're stuck, and once they're stripped it's game over. With a normal bolt head, you can at least get some vice-grips or a nutbuster or something and still turn it.Different fasteners don't bother me. I actually like internal hex or torx bolts as they're much less likely to strip out.
You guys obviously aren't old enough to remember the Vega!!!!

I used an entire can of penetrating oil on this stupid thing, tried cranking it seven different ways, eventually pulled the other bolt and disconnected the brake line and STILL couldn't get it to budge with the caliper completely removed.
The really stupid part of the whole ordeal is that the front calipers are attached with Torx bolts, but the rear calipers have normal bolts. WTF.
