Need help - N18 VANOS solenoid retaining bolt

Need help- trying to remove my vanos solenoids and the exhaust side retaining torx bolt is stripped. I’ve tried a bolt extractor but it will not budge. Any suggestions?

This may or may not work, but if you are willing to sacrifice a torx bit, you could always apply some JB Weld to the torx bit, secure it in the stripped bolt until the JB Weld dries, and then attempt removing the bolt.
