The mag release is fine. The screw head itself is widened a bit for that larger driver. It sounds brutal, but it's not. In most cases, the hole is already so stripped that you can just hand push the larger torx driver in. I usually give it a couple of love taps with a hammer anyways, just to dig the teeth in a bit more for added grip.
I've been using the same mag catch screw that's had this method done on it for the past 5 years!
I'd actually like to see what the mag catch button looks like after laying a dremel wheel on it... not only is the diameter of the screwhead very small, the dremel wheels are thick and will make a 1.5 to 2.0 mm thick cut (for the regular wheel. The kevlar wheels take off even more). Once you're done cutting, assuming you didn't even go beyond the screw head and cut up the button, the width of the cut leaves almost no material left on the head to properly work it out with a flathead screwdriver that small.
