Stuck Torx on an insert?

Most excellent, glad it worked out Alan.
 
Heating makes things expand and chilling makes them shrink so try both.

A small impact driver like popular battery tools now work great for this but must use the RED Milwaukee impact rated inserts to zip them out.

Add some oil to screw before inserting next time.
 
For future reference:

Method five: Use a left hand drill to drill the head of the screw off, slow speed high pressure. The drill normally catches and screws the whole thing right out.

For me this is method one right after a night with the kroil.
 
I would have sacrificed a hex bit, hammered it to jam in the torx hold and backed it out.
 
I have removed many a screw using the impact driver. Have even remove stripped Philips with the impact.
