ok, so a while back some sticky gunk got inside the grooves of my xbox 360 face buttons. I blame it on one of my roommates, but whatever.

Anyways, I disassemble the 360 controller, its a wireless so I need to use a torx T8-H driver, but I can only find a T8 at the stores. I do my best to break off the little poles that sit in the middle of the T8H screws but I can only do so much. I manage to get all the screws out and clean the controller. Works fine.

Well now the gunk is back and the screws are too stripped to remove. Is there any sort of solution i can use without taking the controller apart that would seep down in the face button holes and clean the gunk out? I really dont know why microsoft decided to use T8H screws for the wireless controller, but still use regular phillips head screws for the wired. Very annoying.
