It's like... now what. Leave it on there I can still drive the car. Long term ideas anyone? I'm sure a guy can buy a replacement but how do you get it out now? I'll add pics later.
Thanks!

Hammer in a torx bit that's slightly bigger than the hole, make sure it's seated all the way. If that doesn't work, you'll be getting the extractor set and a drill.
