On another tread awhile back on this, someone used one of those small engraving tools. They act like a mini air chisel to walk the bolt out. Just throwing this out there.

I actually have a set of EZ outs that just sit in the tool box, what I usually do is drill the top with a 1/8" bit about a 1/4 to 3/8 deep and drive a #2 Square drive bit in there with a hammer and then use an cordless impact driver to remove the screw or bolt or whatever. I have broken some ez outs in the past and the #2 square drive tip has never failed me to date. Works every time. I usually use the Cordless Impact driver on all these torx bits to begin with these days and seldom run into a stripped one anymore.
