Put the tools down and step away. Call someone who knows what they're doing.
Calm down. In my day working in a garage there was money to be made undoing bodges. JJH
Just like to point out I do know what I am doing been building motocross bike for years. As ShakeyBMW pointed out the T50 torx is the correct size and is only supposed to support the nut head.
BMW or the dealer have dipped the entire pin in thread lock, after drilling the torx head off and getting the pin out I even stuck the thing in a bench vice and heated with a blowtorch to see if the would budget it. Let's say there is no way the torx head would have ever held that even if the muppets hadn't dipped the thing in thread lock.
Advice is what I requested and thanks to those guys that came forward, not peoples opinion on my technical abilities

But Shakey said it's a T55 not a T50
That shouldn't matter though, he's worked on Motocross bikes for years ......
ha genuine lol,funny how he cant manage a simple task without ending up drilling bits out but then has been building mx bikes for years
There's only about a 1CM band of threadlock on mine so I can see why you struggled.
