I wanted to take apart my controller because one of the buttons is sticking a bit. There are 5 screws in the back, all of them torx.

Luckily I have been screwed over by Microsoft using torx in the past, so now I have two different sets of screwdrivers just in case I come across them again. I managed to take three screws out no problem, but the other two would not budge. The only correct sized screwdriver in two fucking packs has a missing thread at the end of the screwdriver and it was just enough to not be able to get the screws out. I filed that motherfucker down for an hour, got one screw out but the other remains.

WHY IS IT THAT WHENEVER I NEED TO TAKE ANY ELECTRONIC GADGETS APART, THESE FUCKERS USE THESE STUPID SCREWS

Security bit set from Amazon dude.....6.99 two day shipping and you will never have that problem again. The fucks with tiny hands and small constitution have a divit in those torx screws you can't see, but it is there and you will round out those shits so quick.

I think its just a poorly made screw as I managed to get the others out, the first three were easy. I'll keep grinding the screwdriver down, it'll come out eventually.
