If you still can't get it out with a torx (one of mine ended up like that) you can use a backsaw blade or a dremel and cut a slot in the head of the screw so you can use a slot screwdriver to unscrew it. I did that, and it works mint.

If it's stripped I wouldn't suggest loctiting it cause then it will be really hard to get it off later. A torx just helps to get the screw out because of it's profile it's able to grip a little better. You should really replace the screw and not just make it permanent, you never know when you'll need to get it out.
