-> In the earlier thread, BIR the main suggestion was to buy the torx bit
-> with the little hole in the tip to receive the pin.  In some of the
-> recent replies, folks have suggested some more alternatives.  BIR, I've
-> had a bit of success sometimes with taking a center punch and knocking
-> the top of that pin down far enough that a standard Torx bit would fit
-> down in there far enough to catch.

 I have found Tamper Proof Torx Tools pelntiful and cheep at me First
Saturday Swap Meet. 
But if you are dealing with a Quality Torx sct\rew I would remind you
that they are Hardened Fastners and will not mash down very much at all.
Have you ever tried to drill out a Allen Set Screw?? 
Well the Torx fastners are typicaly made out of the same material.
Amd if one thinks about it it makes sense. What temperproof capabilities
would a Fasterner have it it was made out of Very soft material like the
Typical Hardware Store bolts or screws??
