I was trying to take my tank badges off to move them over to my new tank, and I stripped a couple of the torx screws. Does anyone have any advice on how to get them out now?

Judicious use of a screw extractor . Tap it in lightly to " seat " it and back the remains out . Go very slow . May wanna add a dab of PB Blaster or WD 40 to facilitate the screws coming out .
