Heck, I've been known to remove the TB, cut the offending
casting away, recontour it with a dremel tool, trash the torx
install a hex headed bolt and even have it look nice when
I'm done.   On some applications this actually is the easy way
since then ya can use a box/open wrench, with the air filter
on.   
Cheers
Bruce         Grumpy tried using an axe to do it once.  Was trying to
                  keep an eye on it, and wound up with 42 stitches in his
                  forhead.
