thanks in advance
I've had luck gently hammering a slightly larger Torx driver into the the head of the bolt and backing the bolt out very slowly. You usually only get one shot doing that and it will either work or it won't.
There have been a couple of cases where I've cut the bolt as Regulatori suggests. Use a reinforced Dremel cutting wheel (the black one with a wafer pattern underneath).
