Removing Sides on EV0 8 Wing

Just got my CF wing today and need to prepare it for fresh clearcoat etc.

I noticed the tips are attached with four bolts on each side that pass though the inner CF sides toward the outer part of the wing. This also the same as my exisiting replica wing, however the bolts have a hex head on them making it simple for removal.
The head of each bolt on my CF wing is rounded making it impossible to remove. Is there another method of removing these bolts that I'm not aware of ?


EDIT: It's now my understanding that my evo wing is a one piece

I've attached a pic to show the bolts...




Thanks in advance

Yet another one of Mitsubishi's puzzling engineering.
