sometimes when you strip a hex screw, you can get lucky and a torx bit of the right size will still grip. I had a 10mm hex bolt on the transmission of my car and it stripped (that's what I get for not changing the fluid in 80k miles) and all other methods didn't work. Then I grabbed a couple of torx bits and sure enough one of them fit and grabbed the few points remaining in the bolt.
There are also "easy out" bits...cost a few bucks but will save lots of time.
Ive never bothered, but I would think hitting the screws with PB blast before trying to remove them would help lesson the chance of them stripping.
