Default stripped bolt head for bellhousing!

I am in the progress of rebuilding my 4l60e. I stripped the 2 t50 bolt heads for the bellhousing bolts. Any ideas of what i can do to fix that? got all the others out except the two stripped ones

Thanks

do you have the special GM specific torx socket? i had the same problem stripping the bolt heads and breaking the sockets.
i have to drill the heads off of the bolts. after the heads come off and you take the bell housing off the remaining part of the bolt can be removed with a pair of pliers or vice grips. if you do not have the special torx you will continue to strip the heads of the bolts. i also put a little heat on them too.

i thought i had the right bit but i guess i dont if it stripped out. I will try to drill the heads off and get the housing off then get the rest of the bolt with vise grips or something... thanks
