needle nose pillars. it might suck but its doable. i did it when my torx was stripped as well. just stick one end inside the screw and other side on the outside part of the head.

i got the first 3 out with needle nose pliers but two on the side are to hard to get a grip on, same with the center. I got the xbox used from gamestop and when I opened it up some were striped

SWEET just found the fix for it.. I used wire cutters and put one end in the striped part and the other on the outside and had a tight grasp and it unscrewed!!

When i strip a screw I just get a junior hacksaw of some sort and cut right thru the middle till a flathead will fit it. Kinda makeshift but it works. Never tried on torx screws tho.

stick a flat head screwdriver in it and wack it in or put a flat head screwdriver in and put super glue on it then when it drys you should be able to get it out.
