Help identifying this part

[bassel_sy]

I was removing my rear seats and the torx screw holding it in was completely stripped. Anyone happen to know the part number so I can replace , and got any tips for removing a stripped torx? I’m thinking of drilling it out as a last resort cause nothing I’ve done had worked.

Is enough of the head exposed to get a pair of vice grips on there? Turn it back out. Or cut (dremel wheel/small hack saw) a slot in the middle and use a large flathead driver.

I tried with vice grips but there’s just not enough clearance. I thought about the dremel but the issue is the screw is so rusted (not sure how that happened) that every time I turn it with anything the screw just strips more. That’s why I’m thinking drill it out, it’s a relatively short screw like maybe 1/2 inch. Might be the easiest and quickest way.

Sorry cant be more specific. Measure the length and size of the bolt and you could likely identify it better.
