Default c5 horn diaphram replacement issue

I started today trying to replace the horn diaphram on my c5. I got one of the t30 bolts loose on the back of the steering wheel but the other one feels like the head is stripped out. I can't get my torx bit to bite on it without slipping. Is there any other way to remove the horn assembly?

Thanks, I'll need to check on that. The thread that I looked at about replacing the diapharm said T30.

You were absolutely correct sir. Finally had a chance to get back on it yesterday and the correct Torx is indeed a T27. Both of the videos I watched said T30. Guess you can't believe everything you see on the Internet! It's all fixed and working now. Thanks!
