Drill the tip of the hex off and remove the head, then use vice grips to unscrew it

Depending on where it is located, something like an EZ-Out bit could extract it.

Good point. I seem to recall a post on an RC forum recently where a guy said he found a set of small ez out bits.

If I can find that post and/or dig up the link to the bits, I'll post them up.
