Intermediate
use the dremel to grind the head off,take the cover off and you’ll be left with a little bit of screw that you can then retry to cut a notch in or a good vice grip to grab and twist it out. Put some type of penetrating lube before and let it soak a lil bit.

Common problem unfortunately
I use a hand held impact after giving it a firm smack with a hammer with the torx installed. Heating it up to loosen the loctight is a good idea and I now do this as a matter of course the first time. Not helpful now however...........
IIRC this is a 27 torx, and not included in most sets. 25 is close enough to strip the head as you may have discovered. I learned this the usual way
As Mr Brown says cheap tools will only **** you off
The best approach now is to get an impact bolt removal socket and give it a go after heating the bolt and praying. Worked for me yesterday
Failing that get out your drill but I hope you are better than me, or go buy a heilcoil kit now.
