Actually it was in quite good condition and it could easily be ascertained that it was not a hex socket. The Torx fit the fastener quite well but the fastener would not take the torque. It might have been possible that the T-50 was too small, but, it fit almost perfectly. But, my experience with Torx is limited, so, it is definitely possible that I made an error there.
