I was trying to put a modulator in a new bmw x5 and when I took the volume knob off and went to put the t-10 in to turn it...it looks like it's stripped. Is there any other way to get this radio out?
You can try jamming an allen wrench in there, but when you get it out, remember to use a new screw in it's place.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
if you can't get it still after trying the allen head, try an easyout if it's a flush or if it's a headed screw a small vise grip could grab the head of the bolt. if all else fails start drilling.

both of the above methods have worked for me. One of them will probably work for you since T-10 would usually be a small fastener, it can't have very much torque on it.
A little more info on the drilling in case you've never done it- drill the head off of the threaded shaft with a bit just slightly larger than the shaft of the fastener. Use the torx drive hole as a centering guide and it shouldn't take much drilling. It is easy to get too deep and get into the threads. Use a leftie bit if you have one, so if you're lucky the bit will spin the fastener out before it drills through. If not, once the head is off whatever it was holding should be released. Then spin the remaining shaft out by grabbing it with vise grips or something.
Good luck.
