I usually start with hammer in a torx bit that is big enough to cut its own groves. Then use impact tool. I have nearly 100% success with this method. CW a couple taps to help break the seal.
If that doesn't work drill out and use bolt extractor. Use right angle adapter when drilling or you'll get a drill full of oil. Draining the pan will remove any drilling debris.

Use real oem and your VIN to determine. Get an oem bolt from fcpeuro etc

I swear they're the easiest fasteners to strip by far. |

Looks like 11137568309 is the new new one. If you look at the differences between the vehicles listed for the two, 8309 includes the LCI models. As per realoem: Supersedes: 11131742994(05/22/1995 — ), Exchangeable retrospectively 11131704397(04/18/1994 — 05/22/1995) |

I should add that the important part is the M12X1,5 which hasn't changed.

Only one came out to a product on fcpeuro so I'd go with that one.

Use Impact. I've very rarely had any problem. The stripped bolt in this case is hex not torx. Pounding a torx that is a tight fit will turn the rounded hex into a working torx.
