I removed my starter in-situ. Cut the end off an 8mm Allen key (I think it's 8mm don't quote me). Put the chopped Allen key in a hex-socket and two extensions. Came out like a pro with no broken or sheared bolts.
Didn't have to touch the heat shield.

Its 5/16" ideally Keithy ☺ have rounded them out before as 8mm is just a tad too small. Also have to ensure that you dig out all the encrusted oil and grit so the allen key gets right in to its full depth.
Jc ☺
Don't you just love the mix of imerial and metric :confused: Plus the odd torx bolt thrown in for good measure :o
