Seat pre-tensioners! what a nightmare!!!

Hi, Just in the process of swapping my orginal seats for some half leather ones-after about 2 hours off getting all the subframe bolts off the original seats and then onto the pretensioners and what a nightmare-the torx bolt will just not undo! t45 is what is advised from previous thread but its on that tight that its now completely rounded off!!! looks like it will be getting drilled out and replaced-even tried an impact driver on it (what they remove alloy wheel nuts with) and no luck. Anyone else have problems removing this?
Does anyone know the code and price and whether mini will have this bolt instock tommorow? or will they most likely have to order one?
Cheers
