    options:
    -vicegrips
    -cut off wheel to put a slot in it so you can use a flat screwdriver...
    -hammer the next bigger size allen head in there...
    -drill a hole in it, use easy-out, replace with normal bolt...

    Well, if you drill the head off of the torx, you can remove the part, then more than likely without tension on it, what is left of the bolt will spin out by hand once the part it is holding on is out of the way. If not, at that point vice grip it out.

    My dremel, vice grips, and drill are all at home...

    Looks like I will try the hammer and allen. If that fails I will try and pick up some vice grips

    Thanks guys,
    hope this works

    5 gallons of gas + match. Preheat it, then it'll come right out.

    X2 - drill the head off - I guess it isn't countersunk?

    another option (one which I have used on several situations) is to weld a short hex head bolt (the threaded end) to the stripped torx head. Guess you need a welder for that...

    Its a T-55 for the sway bar.

    I tried the allen wrench technique, no luck.

    Bought a vice grip, no luck.

    I am thinking about buying a hack saw and cutting it off, and than build some disconnects?

    theres not a bigger bit than t-55 you could hammer in there?

    so its for the sway bar. so it has a nut on the back side. is the head of the bolt just spinning?

    BIG difference between IFS and an a live axle with coils. BIG DIFFERENCE. A lifted TJ already has a ton of body roll, I would HATE to see it without a sway bar.
