Exclamation Stripped Roof Rack Screw Head

Anyone have any ideas? Screw head is stripped, it’s halfway in. Happened when I installed the 2010-2013 TE rack on my 2016, I just caulked it up to prevent leaking. Now I need it out to install Gobi, but for the life of me cannot get it out. Have tried all the tricks and the little kit with a bit that is supposed to pull these things out. The screw has some play up and down, so I’m nervous about making a mess of the roof insert. But I cannot get it to budge. Can’t quite fit channel locks around it, only needlenose which is no help (also the bolt head is round, derp). Have tried hammering a hex bit in but the screw metal is so soft it shreds before it can bust the loctite...

Can’t get photo to load from my phone for some reason so I can try from my computer later. Was hoping this wouldn’t be so difficult, running out of time before my toddler awakens from his nap haha.

I’m out of ideas!
