sounds like you have what they call security torx or tamper proof torx bolts but are using a regular torx bit. a security torx type bit has a small hole in the middle of it.

Not 100% certain, but I'm fairly sure that won't solve his problem. I think the included bit with the Crane regulator is a regular torx bit, and will not have the hole in the center to loosen the factory bolts.
If you don't buy the correct tool, grab a small wrench, and place the torx bit over one of the regulator housing bolts. Whack the bit into the bolt 2 or 3 times. That will allow you to loosen the bolt with a standard torx bit.

I bought a set of torx bits at the dollar store that had a hole in the middle and worked perfect! Go figure id find a set there?!
