Agree. Would these also do the job - clutch head screwdriver bits ? £6.

they might but more chances of slipping, the amazon link tool shows it has a socket around the bit to avoid slipping

Costly solution but if it avoids burring off or drilling, bonus!

the way i see it is $21 saves me $1500 headlight  so relatively cheap

thanks @daz05 @andygo and 1/2cwt  

ordered  https://amzn.to/3phtR8M based on advise from another thread https://rennlist.com/forums/gt4-spyder/1259318-free-headlight-access-panel-screw-sets.html

"If you get a one-way screw remover / installer bit, you can back them out. I got this one in a pinch from my local hardware store, but it worked perfectly: https://amzn.to/3phtR8M
You want to remove the larger piece on the end (which is used to grab onto stripped screw heads) and just use the forked bit. You need to apply a good amount of even, direct force onto the screw while removing it, and go slow, otherwise you risk stripping material off the screw head. Each screw probably takes about 3-4 minutes to remove, but once they’re off you can replace them with the Phillips head screws I have listed above."

just in case someone come here searching for the answers 

Hey @daz05 awesome video series  

As i went through the steps i found out that the screws holding the cover to access the Xeons are different than what you showed in the video

those screws are the one way screws , as the name suggests they are to avoid tampering, ay ideas on how to open them without breaking stuff
