If a 5/8" fit inside the Torx screw, you likely need a T80 bit (yikes!)
Here is one at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/59TX-T80-Dr-Torx-Screwdriver-Socket/dp/B000JP2SZ6 and
it uses 3/4" drive. I won't shock you with the price, but a T70 socket
costs about 10% of what this costs (also at Amazon).
Here is the chart I used to determine the size

luck.
