Whenever dealing with torx... ALWAYS try the next size larger. ALWAYS This will ensure you dont f up the bolt.
Worst part about my torx sockets is that from 27 to 30 also changes from 3/8 to 1/2 drive

Same bit as Marko, but I use a quarter inch ratchet with an extension and multi head attachement. That way I have all the torx and Allen wrenches I need in one handy set up.
