Can ne1 help me?

I need to rmove a torx bit but its rounded off. Only aloy. Whatys the best way to shift it?

its counter sunk and far too tight to undo, thats why the head is now butchered

Its a sad day

can I not just drill it out, then but a screw in and turn it out? It doesnt need to be replaced. Its the torx bit that hold a disk break on.

As in the centre bolt? Its probably best to unscrew it rather than drill it out.

No as in, not wheel studs, just the torx bolt that holds the disc to the hub. These are not 'really' necessary as the wheel bolts determine more flush contact with the hub

Another option - if the metal is soft enought to have been stripped, then it *might* be soft enough to hammer in a torx bit of the next size up...

Also, most automotive shops will sell special particulate grease to help 'grip' nuts and bolts. Kinda like WD40 (I assume you've tried that already?)

No. I'm tempted to borrow a cordless impact driver thingy
