Which way are you turning it to remove? Were all of the keys/bits high quality? Cheap one don’t fit as well

At this point, you might have better luck with a star bit!

Try using a torx bit if it continues stripping out. Hammer the torx bit in if necessary.

Rutroh Raggy. You are pooched! I give these situations hell. F them in the face! I remove the self-extraction cap with a spanner, then go hog wild and drill the head off that bolt (aluminum) with a stepped drill bit. Stepped drill bit is key. Once head is popped, backout remnant shaft. Finish by replacing bolt with new replacement, replace self-extraction cap, and remove cranky crank. Before all that give the torx idea a go. You have nothing to lose. You might get rucky.
