Jeep is famous or infamous which ever you prefer for using Torx Bolts [actually they are a Screw but what ever]as a fastner for their products.Google Jeep Torx Bolts and take your pick of the suggestions as to how to deal with them.New Torx are available at your Jeep parts source so don"t worry about damageing a bolt as that is just what will happen from many attempts to remove them.My favorite is to take a 4" grinder with a good wheel on it and grind down opposite sides of the Torx head and then take a big vise grip and snap it shut on the head.After clearing flammables from the area and having a proper fire extenguisher on hand,heat the bolt until cherry and back it out.Be careful, you can set the damn thing on fire as I did once.I never knew that grease would burn,famous last words.
