This is what I'm working with.




This is what it should look like and the bit I'm using to try and back it out. T55 bolt & a #10 extractor.




I don't think I can get vice grips around the sides.
I'm not sure about drilling it. There's just under 4.5mm to work with and it's the cap to my transmission. Punching through would drop shavings in there.

Thoughts?

rubber band on the end of the bit.

You can’t get it out because it’s booger’d up so bad you can’t get the Torx bit in there? Or it’s seized up so bad, it won’t break free?

Seems like a little fine filing is in order first

If the head wasn’t flat, sure.

squirt some penetration oil on it and let it sit. drill small hole and use bolt extractor . If you can you , you can also cut a slot and use a screw driver. cur slot with dremel

Easy out.

It'll work. Plenty there to get a bite on

OP, tap, and I mean LIGHTLY tap the bit in once it’s lined up, assuming you’ve cleaned the junk out

Both.

I sprayed oil and tapped with a hammer. Waited a few hours and repeated several times. No luck.
I can't drill it as it's the transmission fill hole. Shavings would drop into the case.

^^^ This or hammer and chisel on edge should break it loose air hammer would be better.

You dont need to drill all the way through just enough to catch some threads of the extractor. Clean off before your remove the screw

I think this would work but I need to find it in a 26mm. Still looking. thanks!

I used computer duster and tapped it. It bit in and then tore more out once I started turning.

Pretty sure I can get that out, shoot me a PM

Yield. You are the man.

Listen to this Gentleman.

Yep John will get it.

If you can reach it with a dremel, you can cut a notch and back it out with a common Screwdriver.

Another a creative option is to tack weld a bolt to it.

I've tried everything mentioned in the thread thus far. There's a bracket that's blocking it somewhat. I think I'm going to remove it and try to get some vice grips around it. If not, notch it and find the widest flathead out there.

apply some heat to it after you get better access to it (vise grips or notch)

Yep, John is the man but you'll have to talk slowly with him since he is a Liberal (Lefty).

This what I use for stripped screws. It has worked every time so far for me. I got mine at Lowes.
