Yep, take a grinder to a T-8 torx which has a long enough shaft length (that seems to be the problem - finding one long enough).
Last year I found the same 50% Mag LED deal on Amazon with free shipping and had no problem ordering (after I fought like hell trying and order online from Lowes - EDIT - now that I read my old thread I see Amazon's servers were kicking me off, but when I was able to order later they were still in stock). So before you brave the crowds, check Amazon. Oh, and I did end up with the latest Mag LED version (my local Lowes at the time had the previous LED version on the shelf).
