I'm not trying to plug a product, but if you have worked on your pioneer, you probably have rounded a few hex bolts. I don't know what Honda torques them with, but half the hex bolts on my Pioneer are over-torqued, and now a few are rounded. I saw the Gripedge hex bit socket set on a SEMA new tool YouTube video and gave it a try. Wow, it works on rounded hex bolts like a champ, and I was able to remove three rounded hex bolts that I was dreading drilling out and changing.

Anyway, I thought I'd share.

I have encountered the same problem with hex allen head fasteners on my Honda. I had good luck with this set. Its relatively inexpensive and quite effective

This design was licensed to Mac Tools for a 1 year exclusivity run.
They now sell this themselves, I am not aware what or if any warranty is offered on broken components.
Stanley B&D has also taken some of this technology and added it to some wrenches.
Many variants are available from Mac Tools, USAG, Craftsman etc.
