You talking about the Torx head screws inside (half a dozen) or the Allen
head nut things on the outside (2 per side, I think)?

Anyway, a screw extractor of the right size might work in the hole already
there.  Otherwise, you'd need a screw extractor drill bit (reverse drill
bit).  You can get individual sizes or a set from Sears.
