Sigh, the hex pattern on my Haldex drain plug stripped while trying to remove it. Any suggestions?

Here's what I do when that happens (read this, it WILL work)>>
1 Get yourself a good strong (sacrificial) Torx socket that is slightly larger than the hex.
2 Hammer that ***** into the hex until it's embedded.
3 Using ratchet, unscrew.
4 Throw away fastener and socket
5 install new fastener using proper hex socket
