If you don't harden and temper it it might still last to get the originals out, and then maybe you could replace with a standard head fastener. It's also possible something that only hit two of the three wings would work for extraction. Or what about just taking them out with a left hand drill bit and screw extractor set?
I've considered it, though I dare say it may be pretty difficult to to make any sort of change onto an already-hardened drill blank.
I know I can easily remove it with a Torx T30, but I'm rather set on finding this tool. I want to keep the two ofos I have as original as possible.
