        You need an impact driver really, then change them for stainless cap head screws. If they chew up completely you could cut a slot in the head then use a big slotted screwdriver.
        Or maybe try tapping them round with a centre punch?

              Definitely replace some stainless bolts lol.

              Just be careful how tight you do them, the bolts will be stronger than the engine cases, and you can risk stripping a thread.

                @calum yeah I was very careful not to over tighten them, who puts screws on an engine casing anyway lol
