CAREFULLY drill the heads out and pull the cap off, you should beable to grab the rest of the protruding screw with locking pliers. Add some anti seize on the new cap screws.

if the head is stripped and not the screw it self, just get a torx bit that is slightly too big for the allen hole. then tap the bit in to the screw then you will be able to un screw the screws and not destroy the screws. all you will have to do is use the torx bit from now on and they will grip better also.
