I'm not performing this operation 100,000 times. If I were, I
would definitely go out and get the long handled T15 Torx
Screwdriver.

I've never had this problem. I don't 'bull' the screw out with
brute force. A common flat-blade screwdriver tip nests tightly
into the torque head and the screws are easily backed out. You
determine 'proper fit' by trying the screwdriver blade in the
easily accessable case-back screws.
Sure, that probabbly is fine 99.999% of the time. But the one time it
doesn't work, and you do mangle the deeply recessed screws is the time
you have real problems trying to get them out.
It is claimed that 'the bad workman blames his tools'. I have always
thoguht that this comes from the fact that the good workman buys good
tools, looks after them, and uses the right tool for the job.
I'm not sure who makes that claim, though it is a saying from
folklore. A true craftsman can make do with what is available,
and leverage his skills and dexterity, rather than just go out
and buy more specialized tools.
