Vise grips if there's enough to grab onto. Easy-out or left handed drill bit, if there isn't.

If somewhat of a head, dremel a slot and screwdrive it out. Otherwise, drill and ez-out it out.

If Harley has used their famious yellow goo (Loctite),I would try heating it up and using a grab device or vise-grips.A soldering iron works well with a little patience and without any damage.

You can try a allen. I have had luck doing this. The problem (mostly) is the torx and allen screws they use is very shallow-button head-which can cause the driver to slip because it does not lock well. Their soft too.

Your bike's been at the dealer for 3 weeks waiting on a 10 minute job?

You're a very patient person.
