assuming its just the notches in the torx head and not the actual threads of the screw that are stripped a couple of ideas...
take a small chisel and hammer, by tapping at an angle on one side of the head you might be able to drive it in a counterclockwise direction and back the screw out
if you have a dremel tool, you can use it to notch the head so either the chisel will get a better angle on the screw or its possible to cut a slot into the head and a regular screwdriver used to back it out..
there are screw extractors (in multiple sizes) that you drive into the head that have teeth with a left hand twist that then allow a wrench to be used back the the out..
if you can get a drill bit with a left hand thread, that might work also - but there is a risk of drilling off the head entirely...
might do a search for stud removal or extraction for more ideas...
