Totally understand and agree - fortunately the torx bolts here should be a milder grade than the large ones. You can always test with the one you have removed.

I suggest PRACTICE on the bolts removed. And try to buy multiple drill bits if you can. It is easy to break small bits and they can dull quickly. Repeating above advice - not too much pressure and frequent oiling.
