Help. Stripped torx bolt on the steering wheel.

So I'm pulling out the interior so I can replace the wiring harness. And I went to take off the steering wheel to get the dash out. I got the first bolt off fine. But I stripped the second bolt and have no idea how to get it off. Any help is wonderful! Thanks!

you want a bolt extractor set

they have strong drill bits so you can open a hole in the stripped bolt

and reverse thread bits that you run into the hole you drill and eventually GRAB the offender and it comes out .....

any hardware/autopart and even wally world
