Engine Cover Braket Removal HELP!!!

I am trying to remove the engine cover bracket in front and below the oil filler cap. The bolt securing this bracket is impossible to reach as it right where the plastic manifold meets the engine block. I tried the long screw driver DIY but it did not work for me, the bolt is set in concrete. These bolts are made of very soft metal and unless you have the right size Torx inserted properly (not jammed at an angle) they will strip very easily. I have every tool in the western hemisphere and some I put together myself:mad0259: for this job but nothing fits in there, it is an extremely tight spot. I have an AUDI engine cover and brackets coming next week and I am stuck. Any ideas guys? Any special tool that you know of?
If you live in San Diego and can help me, I am good for two six packs of ANY beer you want.
Thanks for any help you can give me.:mad0259:

OK, OK three six packs...
