Default REAR BRAKES, torx screws stripped?

doing 5lug conversion. in the rear im taking out that fat 24mm bolt + 4 torx screws.

got 3 out, last torx screw is starting to strip. I was thinkin about using one of my sockets that are meant for stripped nuts. (the kind that has TEETH to grab on to the sides)


any other ideas? would using a larger torx work?

please!! someone help!!
thank you honda tech!!!!!!!!!!!!
