If it's stripped out completely, try the chisel method

mentioned.
Or, you can weld a nut on. I bet a muffler shop would do it for you for no more than $20. |
This for sure.
You can even try to hammer a torx bit in. Anything that will bite. I have an impact driver set for this sort of thing, and one thing I’ve done the pass is fined a flat head bit that can just barely get wedged in. Then take the impact driver and a hammer. Pop loose every time.
