Stripped Torx

[hd4evr]

Suggestions on how to remove a stripped Torx bolt from my derby cover. I got 4 loose and the last one is so tight I twisted the Torx trying to get it loose. I'm afraid I might have stripped it a little because the Torx "spun" in the bolt head. Help??

You probably used a #25 torx instead of the #27 that is needed.
