Mine are stuck, but not stripped. For yours, I would see if you can cut the bolt in between the split in the collar. This will take the load off and you can use a screw extractor.

When it happened to me I just took a torx bit one size bigger, tapped it in with a hammer, and used a socket to get it out....
