Torx Fasteners. Did you try a lubricant on the exposed threads? (WD-40,etc...) Factory torx settings are hellacious for being tight for they don't want the fastener to loosen on thier own. Use a longer breaker/cheater bar also.

Torx Fasteners. And yes they can be a bull to remove. WD-40 on the threads and a longer breaker/cheater bar for the socket.

The screws penetrate the floor and are exposed underneath the vehicle. Because of this they can have a lot of rust on them. When I removed my seats I went underneath and cleaned up the threads first. This made them come out a lot easier.
