I,v removed "safety" torx screws out of PS3's xbox 360 controllers before with just a small flat headed screw driver, find one thats the right size to cross over from one side to other side, hard to put in text but its like puting a scre3w driver at the 2pm and 10pm positions of a clock, not straight across but just round the middle nipple in the middle!
Did a bad photo but hope you get the idea!

QFT.

I tried the method above and you just can't get enough grunt behind them to break them loose when using a flat head screwdriver that way Sad

I'll whip the dremel out when I get home tonight and see how it goes. Hopefully they'll come out nicely and I can just replace them with some socket cap screws. Failing that the next tool in my arsenal will be
