Some more approaches for you:1) First heat up the plug with a torch but don't try to turn it. Let it cool and then heat up the cases around the plug then try to remove it with the Torx bit while the caes are hot. Heating up the plug first will hopefully expand it a bit relative to the hole and hopefully move the case intereference area. Then when you are ready to unthread the plug if you heat up the area around it and not the plug it should loosen it up a little more. 2) If you strip the allen hole there are some different types of easy outs to try. 3) Last but not least you can TIG the plug through a hole on a bar. Quite often TIG welding a bar to a plug will expand the plug even more than a torch and loosens things up a lot (once it cools) and then gives you lots of leverage with a bar to get it out.
Good luck
