E36 M3 spark/coil cover bolts seized, how to remove?

Recommended Posts

I was going to change the spark plugs on my 95 M3 but have been thwarted by 2 of the bolts on the cover.  Some @$#@%#$ person put them on too tight and they will not come loose.  Obviously, I have stripped the allen heads, what else could I do?  My next thought it to try to drill off the heads but I thought I see if there were any better advice on how to get them off... Your thoughts please...

Smacking a suitable size torx socket in and then using a manual impact driver would probably have it out easy enough. If you dont have impact driver have the driver then you can attempt with a ratchet.
