what is the smallest Torx bit that you can buy?
cheaply?
in sydney preferrably?

(Yes, I have the cheap sets from Jasycar, DSe, etc. Need something
smaller).

I have been asked to look at repairing a Videolabs Flexcam and of course
it has these tiny Torx bolts on the head. Definitely smaller that T10.

Any yes, I am doing it more for curiosity value than an economic repair.

I'd have to double check later, but I'm sure my RS set has T8 and maybe even
T6.

DSE has a set which goes to t6 (for mobile phones)

otherwise you have to go to RS or somewhere like that

you could dry wiggiling at them with a flathead ;) whenever i want the
magnets off a hard drive, I just used to put a large drill bit in my
dril and shove it on the screw, put the drill on reverse and lean
heavily on the drill till it forced the screw out. Then I started
using my grinder which was a lot easie, the vivbbration would shake
the screw out. then i bought a torx screwdriver bit set ;)
