You are probably talking about the ign switch security bolts.
The heads on these are broken off after assembly as an anti-theft measure.
When I encounter these, I use a Dremel with a cut-off wheel to grind a screwdriver slot into them, so that they can be removed.
I like to replace them with allen head bolts when things go back together.

Toyota recommends a screw-extractor. http://personal.utulsa.edu/~nathan-b.../6tiltstee.pdf
If you have ever used a screw-extractor, you'll realize that millball has a better way to do it.
