I didn't take it as an insult at all.

I would have suggested it too, but when I thought "Torx...pin",
my brain remembered back to "hacksaw...slot", because that's how
I did it way back when. At first I thought of trying to drill a
tiny hole in the end of the bit, but then I read somewhere about
the slot trick. If I'd had the Dremel at the time, I would have
used the cutoff wheel, too.

Heck, half the time I forget I even bought the silly thing.
