Water pump bolts

[Danix60]

Hi, last week I replaced the water pump on my 172, 2 of the bolts of the water pump got rounded.
The water pump is in place and has no leaks, still thought to replace those bolts.
Any Idea how could I do that?
Cheers.

Arn't those stupid e-torx bolts? lol fun, you could angle grind each side flat and get a spanner on it, cut the head off and use a stud extractor..take it to a professional I would.
