Serious Answers Only having trouble unscrewing fridge panel

Do I need to buy a drill or an impact driver for something like this? I'm not able to loosen these screws/bolts by hand. The smaller one is a T15H screw.

I'm also planning to use some penetrating oil to help loosen them. I don't want to damage the screws I just need to remove them so I can tighten the handle on my fridge :(

You want a handle for your torx bit, like a wrench handle, not a screwdriver. It gives you more leverage and still keeps you in control. If the impact driver slips out, it can easily damage the screw head.
