Good Evening,
So what am I doing wrong here? I super carefully tried to take off two of the roll cage bolts at the base and both of them stripped out. I was using a breaker bar and regular torx set, gently tapped them in with a hammer to prevent stripping them out but they did anyway. Also, what's the best way to get them stripped ones out? Easy Outs / extractor / maybe some kind of torx equivalent turbo bolt thing? Thanks
 
I've welded a nut to a stripped fasteners before, works well. The added heat breaks down any Loctite or corrosion, and of course gives you a good hex head to work with.
In the future, try removing the rollbar torx with an impact driver , this has worked for me a YJ rollbar, probably same as a TJ
