Torch/ heat, Kroil or Pb blaster Might have to drill it out or if you have the means, weld z nut on and back it out???

Or can you grind some flats on the head of the bolt?

I have tried heat and pb blaster.
Don't have a welder anymore.
Do those stripped bolt removal kits work any good?

 

Soak it in penetrating oil and use a high quality extractor.

 

What type of extractor?

 

I've had great luck with the extractors. Soak in PB and let it sit, may be even a couple of days, soak every few hours or so. Get the extractor bit in there good and use a cheater bar or breaker bar. Go slow. If it still won't budge repeat the soak in PB and give it another go.

 

I used the Craftsman set like these. Extractor Bits just find the size you need.

 

I had an impact wrench that had interchangeable bits that you hit with a hammer. What an awesome tool

 

I ended up cutting a horizontal line in the torx bolt (kind of like making a flat blade screw driver slot, but it goes all the way across). Then I soaked the bolt in pb blaster, stuck a large flat blade screwdriver in the slot at an incline and hit it with a hammer to get it moving.

 

x2!!!!

I have a few of these but this otc model in 1/2" cost me under $30 and works awesome...
I know you dont have a welder anymore, but welding a bit to the bolt and popping on it while its hot works everytime, but cutting a slot like stated above and using a large flat blade bit will work well to...

I had a t50 { seatbelt bolt } stripped on a car I was restoring {grand national} and welding was not an option since we would have destroyed parts we were trying to sae with the heat, but this thing was stripped and in a tough spot, so I used JBweld, I cleaned it filled the it with jb weld and stuck an old t50 socket in there. I let it set up over night and then smashed the impact driver to loosen it, it worked like a charm.. Worse case I would have just drilled it, but that really sucks, I have also had good luck with these Williams TURBOSOCKET® Damaged Fastener | Snap-on Industrial Brands, I just dremel the head of the bolt to fit in one and then bang it on, use a breaker bar and they come right out {I have done this a lot of allen heads...

 

Woo!
Thanks guys. I tried so many of your option and ended up using a chisel and mini sledge.
Came right out

 

I had one that was stripped on the roll bar I just filed 2 sides down and put a open end spanner on it and it came strait out

 

I was able to use vice grips and elbow grease to get one out changing out a front bumper.

 

That probably would have worked if it wasn't 10 degrees outside.
All 4 of the top bolts came out just fine.
The two bottom ones pretty much stripped out right when I looked at them.

 

Use a dremel to cut it into a flat head has worked for me in the past.

 

I hope I get some sort of answer! Hey everyone I'm new as in NEW. My mom left me this 2002 JEEP WRANGLER TJ SPORT when she passed away in 2019, I'm sorry to say it's sat under my carport for the first 8 months and I didn't touch it. After that I bucked down got a new battery checked it out and started dricing it around the coubtry subdivision with my 6 year old. Him and i plan of fixing this up together. Previously this jeep was a sheriff's vehicle in a small west texas town to help border patrol. So its been rode HARD. my mom did the basics the 4 years she had it but nothing like im going to do. Anyways I'm now at the point that I was taking the nasty carpet out and and that T50 bolt and I are never gonna be friends I for sure strip the one under the driver's seat Harley would understand how to get that 1 out it's in such a weird place I can't weld do anything I just don't know what to do!! I know the shit matter but it does I'm a 30 year old female who doesn't have a lot of Arm strength going on here. Pretty sure I sprained ny wrist with the rest of the bolts yesterday!

It seem there happen to be ALOT of torx bolts. I have been pb blasting these dumb bolts in the entire vehicle for a year at this point. Every few days. It's just theses torx under the front seats at this point!

 

Seats don't need to be removed to take out carpet(at least not on my 98). There's a front and a rear piece, and should have cuts in the side so it clears the seat frame.
