good idea not to use any torx on the xzn fasteners. the heads tend to be quite shallow for one thing, so the correct tool is important.

when i rebuilt the rear suspension on my car i removed the rear wheel carriers from the car and did the rear tie-rods on a shop press with improvised tooling. it may be easier to do them on the car with the special tool but in my case i was replacing all the links and also doing the wheel bearings so it made sense to do it this way.
