I suggest using a dremel tool with a cut off wheel to cut a slot in it, then remove with a large flatblade screwdriver.

So, I stripped one of the Torx bolts on my disc hub. How should I go about removing it? Drill it out? I'd really appreciate any and all suggestions!!

Hmmm...If I remember correctly I had to file the bolt head into a square shape and then remove it with a ratchet.......D

drill a small hole through the center of the bolt, and use and E-Z Out to remove old bolt. make sure the drill bit you use is small enough to go into the center of the bolt and not damage the threads.

I've had very little success with this procedure.
Usually the head gets shredded before anything budges.
It worked once on a shimano disc bolt. Just once.
