Why you'd want to escapes me. I've seen plenty of stripped or questionable Phillips head screws thru the years, but never a stripped out Torx head. You got a set of suitable drivers with your car's tool kit, and plus they're everywhere nowadays.
But yeah you could do it. A few - - screws for courtesy lights - - are sheet metal screw threads and about anything close will work there. I think the ones with threads are all metric standards; take the originals along to a hardware store's nuts and bolts drawers and find what matches. M6? M5?
For the two at the ends of the door pockets, you wouldn't be able to cap them with the neat little plastic pop-on caps if you switched. Those heads are unique. And they'd need a long sleeve, just equal to the length of the unthreaded part of the current bolts. You could cut sleeves from small copper tubing or brass tubes you can get at hobby shops, or maybe you could find some small plastic tubes to make spacers out of.
Really, think about it, but don't do it.
