Hammer, flat end screwdriver and make a mark deep enough so screwdriver bites and then knock the torx screw round till it comes free...
Had to do this a few times

Drill the head off, so you can get the disc off and then either get the pliers to it to get the rest out, or leave it, as has been done before, as far as im aware all they do is keep the disc in place when you put the wheels back on, so its easier to locate the holes.

Surely if you round a torx screw then it would be more like a allen bolt. get a hammer and tap a allen key in, make sure it the equivalent size to the torx bolt.

even tho its done the only reason the bolts there is to hold the disc on when you take the Calipers off
