Drill the head off with a 5mm drill bit. The head, spring cap and spring will come off. There's about 5mm of thread left behind in the spring post. This usually turns out by hand, but if not, grip it with some moles and screw it out.
The torx bit works to, but you need to use an impact drive. the heads are too soft and once stripped you'll just keep tearing metal out.
