Thought I would give an update on how this was resolved. Torx didnt work (to stripped), screw extractor was too big. I was suggested that I hammer a flat head into the screw and extract that way but I didnt hammer a screw driver in because I didnt want to damage something else. What solved the problem was a dremel. I dremeled a grove (with minimal damage) on the screw and used a flat head to get the screw out. If that failed the next step was to epoxy or weld a alan key to the screw.
