If you mean the bolt head stripped, the only thing I can think of is drilling the rest of the head off so you can pull the hub off, then go at the bolt with vise grips..

It's also obvious you aren't using the proper size wrench. Before drilling, try a larger size torx tip on the stripped bolts (if they're really broken you could even tap the tip in place with a hammer), that should allow you to turn them.
