For some folks, if it has what looks like six points on an internal
wrenching fastener, they automatically assume it is an Allen socket
and screw it up with the wrong tool.

On our RANS S6 first oil change after purchasing last Septemeber, our
Torx plug had been stripped badly. We bought the newer style hex head
mag plug and then used a screw extractor to get out the old one during
next oil change. Expensive price for a little mag plug but worth the
piece of mind of never having the hassle again.

to drill part way in before hitting magnet(should be noticable)then use easyout..
