Torx Bit for Door Bolts

Dusty, just to be clear, are you saying the torx bit doesn't fit well enough in the bolt so that it kinda "slips"?
If so, are you using a metric sized bit? I'm almost positive you can find the proper sized metric torx bit at a place like Home Depot or Ace Hardware. I know I bought one for the tailgate bolts at Home Depot. It was a metric set with different sizes, actually. They fit onto a socket wrench, and give plenty of torque.

Can you get a close up picture of the bolt?
There are regular Torx bits (T25, T27) and then there's a relatively new style called Torx Plus (T25P, or T25IP) The tips of these are more rounded and beefier which allows greater torque.
I'll take a look at my brother's 02 ext. cab this weekend and confirm size and style.
