    Happy Saturday Ya'all- I f**ked up one of the torx bolt when I installed the front rail in my Tacoma. I tried removing and pulling it but it seems it will not come out. I have tried with WD40 and pulling it out while unloosing it. Any local shops or home made tricks to know how to get it removed including stripped torx screws while the bed rail is installed? I was not able to dremel it because of the rail being attached. I went to local hardware store to get speed out screw extractor with no luck. The bolt seems to be stubborn and stuck in the middle of the tread as it may have been installed crooked due to my fault.

    Its the middle bolt of the front rail.

    Thanks!
