I did the same thing once on a rear fender strut. I got it off my grip the sides with a set of vice grips and VERY carefully putting pressure on it. I would due little turns and reapply the vice grips until I got if backed out enough to make a full turn.
That loctight can be a pain most of the time!
Good luck!
i did this too and worked great. i taped the chrome with painter tape before doing it. the other side i used the grips first and then the torx.
