oil strainer pick up engine swap

Hi
I'm just doing a M13a to M15a engine swap.
Really struggling to get the oil pick up strainer out.
The 2 bolts look like Torx bolts but I can't seem to get any grip with my set.
Am I missing something?
Are they a different type of bolt?

thanks

Tom

I've done the swap twice and I don't recall them being anything unusual! They are most likely to be a hex. Sometimes the tool markings on a hex bolt can make it look more like a torx.

I done this too and cannot recall having any problems here. And i do not have alot of special tools.

A picture perhaps?

Torx can be male or female, so yes, a photo would be helpful.
