I honestly don't know if it was a TTY bolt, just that it requires to be torqued to a low value, say 20-30 ft/lbs with no degree spec after torque is reached. Edit: According to the online instruction from an Audi parts vendor, the torque on this bolt is 20Nm or just under 15ft/lbs.
Yes, I should have replaced it when I took it off to fix the coolant leak. I figured I was just over a year away from the next timing belt interval and it would be OK, but I see that I was wrong.
I'm finding a decent right angle adapter that comes with a stubby drill bit for $20 locally, so I'll probably give that a try first. I don't want any more collateral damage on the block from a Dremel.
