I hate these situations and find myself there more than I'd like. I have never had a whole lot of success with EZouts or the like. It looks like you have a pilot hole there; I'd be inclined to drill a bigger one and hammer a torx in, maybe with some duct tape to ensure tight fit. Then unscrew.
Or make a slot with the dremel and use a flat head. You probably only get to do one of these things though, as you'll run out of room.
