"The major problem isn't finding Torx bits, but finding a Torx screwdriver long enough to fit in the handle. I had a Torx bit lying around (the kind you're supposed to use with a cordless drill). Obviously, this would not be long enough. It turns out that the barrel of an ordinary Bic 'stic' pen is just long enough to reach into the handle of the Mac, and it holds the bit firmly enough that it can be used as a screwdriver. If the screw is a bit stubborn, you can hold the pen barrel with a pair of vice grips." that one is my favorite, and probably alot easier than filling a straw up with glue... I will test it, and post the result in a few minutes =)
