I usually use a slotted screw driver in those situations since it would kinda work as a "walking out" chisel and if the blade is close (slightly over) to the max of the messed up Torx (or other type of head) you can get it mashed in and maybe out. Mashing a tight socket over it can work but can also help round out the head even more and make an even more dramatic mess of it.
I'm happy for you Matt's heat worked. I was just hoping to throw mine at the wall too in the event you were making a day of it (we've all been there). Maybe this is a sign that those of us who don't have a heat gun yet should get one.
until about 5 yrs ago I never owned one. Now I don't know how I lived without one for so long. Fairly inexpensive and so versatile it is really dumb not to have on in the arsenal..
