Dave's approach is the one most likely to work. If you do not have a welder handy, put a dab of JB-Weld in the cone screw where Allen wrench goes. Find an allen wrench you are willing to part with, put it in there and let the JB-Weld dry.
Alternatively, Beat a Torx bit attached to an extension into the rounded out screw. You can also try these, I have no experience with them. https://www.amazon.com/IRWIN-HANSON-Multi-S...7/dp/B0002SRG66 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Same here, for exactly the same problem the OP has. Heated with a torch and then hammered in a torx bit and it came right out. |
