I can get a laser branded set for £20 or an identical Nilsen branded set for £11 (delivered).

They're low torque items anyway, so, for £11, I think I'll just get a cheap set and not have to bother with grinding them or trying to match the thread to one with a different head on re-install.

I may need to use them again at some point, so the £11 isn't too bad.

...unlike the £45 I need to spend on an (expected) single use drop arm puller for the defender.

They don't look like the access is too bad, you'd get in there with a 1/4" hex bit. I'd just get one of those cheap "security" bit sets, where you get all the weird ones; pentalobe, triwing, torqset, etc, they'll get you out of a pickle next time you want to open something tamper-resistant.
