    Get a dremmel and cut a notch in the bolt head so you can use a large flat screwdriver to undo them.

    If you don't have a dremmel then get or borrow one as they are a god send.

    Knock a torx bit in there, should then have enough grip to undo

    Flush the old fuel out, it’s well passed its best.
    You may get lucky but expect issues with gummed up injectors...my old gixxer was sat for a few years and I had to get the injectors removed and cleaned as well as flushing out the tank

    Be worth taking the top yoke off anyway so you aren't working at getting those bolts out whilst upside down.
