If you're planning on working on your Omega you could do with a set of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/9-Pc-3-8-Drive-Male-Torx-Star-Bit-Socket-Set-T10-T55-/250875960976?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3a695f5e90#ht_834wt_952
Halfords do a reasonably priced set.  :y :y

Maybe someone before you has buggered it using something other than a Torx - maybe an Allen key. Just done a oil change on my Astra, & that was a T45. Try tapping the T45 into your sump drain plug.  :-\
