Default DEF tank

I’m attempting to replace a sensor and while looking at the DEF I noticed that the torx bits holding it in have been stripped. With the limited room I cannot get my bolt extractor in there to remove it. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome, other than take it to a dealership. Thank you.

Default Didn’t think of that solution

I honestly didn’t think of that approach. Got tunnel visioned into those torx bits. Thanks.
