What the hell brand torx bits are you using? Generally every torx that has told me to **** myself has twisted not snapped. Are you sure you're getting the driver seated fully in the bolt? I generally like to take a hammer and tap the socket/bit in a little then put the wrench on it when it feels like its fighting me.

That being said feather burner generally has a point. Even a non impact socket can often times free something stuck because the pulse of the impact gun hitting it a bunch of times excites the molecule in the metal aiding in freeing things up.

Its sorta like when you use a frame puller. You always pull a little, release, pull a little, release, pull a little, release, then all of the sudden it goes all at once without tearing.
