Power steering fluid tank stripped bolt 😱

Used the right torx socket. 3 came out easily, one just stripped. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

Thats a bummer. Any chance you can find an appropriately sized 12pt socket that can be hammered on to whats left of the head? That’s worked for me in the past.

That would be my solution as well.

Yes try another socket on top and hammer it on. Or an easy out type socket set may get a purchase on the old bolt head.

Failing all of that, the way I would get that out with 100% success is to drop a nut over it and in that case due to restricted access use a stick / arc welder to weld on the nut and get it out of there.

Thank you comrades, hammering a socket on did it!
