Default 1998 Mustang OE grill removal

Hey all you Mustang heads,

This may seem like a silly question but I have had NO luck finding a torx bit to remove the screws that attach the Pony emblem so I can replace my OE grill with a billet grill. The screws have "tits" in the middle of them so a normal torx bit doesn't work and I have looked everywhere locally and can't find one with a hole in the middle. Any suggestions besides drilling out the OE screws?? Thanks!!

Yeah, I've looked in all the usual places...AutoZone, Advance Auto, NAPA, Pep Boys, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Home Depot, Lowes...and even Walmart. None that I have come across have the hole in the middle of the torx bit to fit over the "tit" in the screw. I guess I may just go ahead and drill them out...

Sometimes, the easiest things are the hardest...
