Unless yoru drill has the torque of Zues it aint gunna undo a seat bolt like that. If you cant find the right tool at home find someone that does. Its easy to knacker those bolt heads withthe wrong tool. A Mechanic or Car Audio installer will have those. I think that they are refered to as "Torx" bits.
