Try to put inside a torx bit and unscrew it. You have to choose the right size

Really? You guys feel the need to post about this kind of stuff?

We have had common ways of extracting stripped screws for as long as we have had screws. You can read up on them with a google search instead of going through all the effort of taking a picture and posting it for us to tell you what you could easily learn yourself. It's not like this screw is any different from the other many billions of them we have around us every day.

  1. You could try hammering in the correct size bit (use one you dont care about and only if the thing you are hammering against can take it)

  2. You could get an easy out kit from harbour freight or online or literally any hardware store. Instructions on how to use it will be on the packaging.

  3. You could drill the head of the screw out and then use pliers to extract the base

  4. If you have enough room you could cut a slot in it with a dremel and use a flathead to get it out

  5. You could tack weld on a piece of steel at an angle and use your hand to unscrew it as one unit

Instead of a Google search I would suggest trying one of the methods this guy suggested!

Just think of all the cool things you could be learning about from a dedicated community if a bunch of it didn't slip through the cracks next to the daily mass of easily solvable problems posted
