Threads On T-case Pump Torx Stripped

[dodge123]

So I finally got all the parts I ordered today. I went to unscrew the original pump torx screws and three of them stripped the teeth of the torx screws, now they wont come out without drilling them out or ordering a new pump, plus they look hardened anyway. What a PITA. So my new plan Im strongly considering is to simply return my un-opened parts and order a new case. I'll put mine back together and send it back as the core. Im sick of waiting for parts and it may not turn out all that great after I rebuild mine anyway. Opinions?
