Removing embedded metal from stainless

When installing stainless steel hinges, an employee will run the screws in and then sometimes hit the side of the hinge with the torx bit driver which is made of a another type of metal and embeds which causes rust to form. How can we remove this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I think you can use flexible shaft machine and diamond drills. Hope it helps.
