You don't, first get a 3/8" hand impact driver with the correct torx bit.
It will take a couple whacks with a 2 lb hammer to get them to budge. Then
replace the screws with SST and put some antisize on the threads.

I always start the torx screw with an impact driver:

dash and I think they may still use nuts on the inside where a box end
and you wife's hands will be the only thing that's work.

If these are the ones in the windshield frame you can remove the visor
brackets and hose down the inside of the frame with penetrating oil.

After stripping out torx head you then weld a hex head bolt into the
hole that use to be star shaped. The heat will help break the thread
loose while giving the frame a nice, slightly burnt look.

It's a Jeep thing.....
