Haha, this reminds me of my dad. Every time I ask him for some help on the car, no matter what it is, he tells me to use WD-40 and vise grips.

Phillips head? No wonder you stripped them out. The intake plaque is a torx style.

Good point, and good idea to replace em with regulars. But my factory intake and plaque is sittin in a plastic tote so it doesn't matter to me what bolts it has now lol.
