stripped, I assume you,ve rounded off centre of the torx screw heads?

you probably needed heat in there to break any thread lock
If you can get into it, welding ( tig or mig) a bolt onto the head will give you new purchase & the heat will break the bond.

Use the Dremel cutting tool. Home Depot has them if you don't own one already. You are discarding the old slave anyway so just dig in with the tool. Access is very limited. Slot the head so you can remove it with a flat blade screw driver. I don't know if the Dremel you can work it in such a tight space.

Alternatively you can get the Blue Mol drill bits, available also from Home Depot, to drill it before using a screw extractor. The picture below is done that way. Start with a small diameter drill bits and work your way up. Then use the screw extractor.
