I had a couple of problems with the bolts on the cases. One bolt which was recessed too much and didn't allow me to get a wrench on it squarely, got rounded off and kept slipping. Until it was prized off with a six sided tight fitting long reach socket. I had been using a polygonal socket that had stripped the corners of the bolt rather than gripping the sides of the bolt, which is how the 6 sided wrench works. You learn stuff every day. This bolt is right up against the side casing and requires a thin skinned socket.
Not this fat thing that I was using.
Which resulted in this nicely rounded off bolt head:
The other thing I did was to snap one of the bolts when I was using my new power impact driver.
