Hi Fred,
I've bought some Draper tools in the past and I've not been too impressed with their quality and durability. It certainly should not "bend" under any circumstances.
My suggestion, however, to deal with this job is simple. Lubricate the Torx screw thread* with Copper Ease and make sure that you don't tighten it any further than the MG Rover specified 33 Nm. If you do this, I guarantee that when you come to remove it again, you will have no trouble, even with a Draper tool!

* Some members will disagree with lubrication but I have practised this technique for decades and nothing I have tightened in this way has ever come loose or given trouble of any kind.
