    Do you have any idea how to unscrew TORX screws without a suitable screwdriver?

    I struggle with the disk to extract the plates, and the torxes I have are too big for the ones on the disk.

    In Poznań, in the Market, for a few PLN, buy the right tip, otherwise you will smash something in the disk ...

    As once I unscrewed a few screws with a flat screwdriver with the appropriate width of the tip (the tip can possibly be adjusted on the grinder), but I must admit that it is a risky operation. You can fix the screw head in such a way that only drilling it will help. Good luck.

    Take a small flat-head screwdriver, put it on the screw, give a lot of tin to solder the screwdriver with the screw and unscrew.
    A good way to unscrew very worn torxes in phones :)

    I use pliers to spin the discs. I grab the bolt head and twist until the bolt comes off. Then a flat screwdriver. :D But I have to finally invest in Torxy.

    I know two ways:
    - You buy a Torx screwdriver and unscrew it.
    - You don't care about bolts? Open them. The method for reaming the screws is given above.

    You can also adjust the appropriate hex key and unscrew it.
