Anyone know is there any other bolt on 7gen steering wheel? side bolts on the airbag unit are so tight, is it not possible to remove them using a screw driver? I was trying to remove the central piece and put it on my 6gen celica.

I've had that issue. I had to use my T27 Torx head with a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter and use my ratchet. Worked much better than trying to use the T27 on the screwdriver.
