Having the worst time trying to remove a Tron shroud, the security screws (star shaped with the pin in the middle) are just not moving at all. Been through every bit possible, the 15's seem to fit the screw but my driver just spins. I removed some of the other similar ones on the cab in other spots but the 4 on the upper part of the shroud just won't budge. I've wiped them with WD-40 and removed the marquee bracket to access the back of the security screws in question to WD-40 the backside of them as well. Still having no luck removing those 4 upper bits. I welcome any suggestions, maybe a different size driver, but I've tried pretty much all the bits possible from T10 on up.
 
You can try using a small Dremel cut-off wheel so you can try getting them out with a flat screwdriver.
 
I managed to remove one of them last night with the 15 tip...somehow. I guess maybe the WD40 finally got into it? None of the other ones have moved yet but I hold out hope :)
 
+1 for the dremel....had to do that on all my tron screws...saved them and went to store and matched the screw with an Allen head...
 
Finally at 12:30am last night, victory was mine.

Thanks for the tips all.
