Caliper bolt ?

Well went to put pads on my bird this afternoon(87 non-turbo) and much to my dismay whoever has been there before me was kind enough to strip out the caliper bolts. They appear to have originated as torx head bolts. Any ideas as to what size torx and the easiest way to remove them would be greatly appreciated. I wasnt really wanting to do it today so I figured I would try here first, Looking like a job for vise grips if I can get them on it. Thanks guys, Dan
