Stripped Torx-head Bolt

[Dean 10+ year member]

While attempting to replace my rear 6x9 speakers, after I had all of the screws out of the interior wall, I removed the top cover for the drivers side seat belt. Underneath I discovered was a completely manhandled torx-head bolt. I tried to get it out but all the bit does is spin, its entirely destroyed. How should I go about removing this, and what will I need? I'm only 17, so all pointers are helpful. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

try a slightly bigger flat head skrewdriver and hit it into the striped head with a hammer than apply force to it while u turn it......or if need be in worst case use a verry small drill bit drill it out than use a larger bit(wedged inside the drilled hole) and put ur drill in reverse(that is worst case)

get an easy out screw set from sears or wherever, also if you have the space you can take a chisel and hammer it out, but the easy out works best

Take a dremel and cutting wheel and cut it out, or grind the head of the bolt off, then clamp a vice-grips on the left over bolt shaft and take it out.

Vice grips are my first idea too. If not though, dremeling a slit in it for a flat-head screw driver works magic as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.
