Most auto parts stores have kits for that
everything you need to do it yourself they are
a little pricy but if you take it in it will
be twice as much so its wort the $20 or more for
the kit

A Midas in Jacksonville, FL stripped the torx head out on one of the right front caliper bolts when my brother owned my truck, and I can't get it off yet. I'm hoping the threads aren't stripped when I do get the bolt out. I plan to clean up the head and epoxy a sacrificial torx fitting in there, then turn it out.
