Default cant get torx bolt off door hinge..need2go doorless

cant get a torx in the door jam.No torx bit will get in there, just the outer most bolt came out. And now the torx is stripped. WTF CHRYSTLER? Why are you a torx natzi.

Advice on getting the inner 2 torx off? I want to go doorless!

why didnt I think of that, I better give it a try. Torx heads might be too stripped though. I slipped once and thats all it took cause I was crankin on it so hard. Probably havent budged since 96. Hard to cut the heads off can't get a cutoff wheel in there.
