Need help!

I totally stripped one of the Torx bolt that holds the airbag in place while I was trying to replace my steering wheel. I couldn't move it at all since they are extremely tight so I had no choice but to put the other bolt back in place, and now my airbag is kinda loose inside the steering wheel.

Any ideas on how to remove this bolt??? The thread are ok, it's just that the top where the Torx bit goes is a total circle now...

hmm... it's probably too dark to take a pic now (and camera flash will just reflect).... But basically the Torx head slot became a circle.... the bolt is pretty beat up at this point.... It stripped pretty easily, considering the amount of force it took to try to loosen the bolt, I think they put some thread lock on the bolt during assembly...
