Torx screw stripped?

I love my steam controller so I know this is a privileged post, but I seem to have a loose joystick wire causing clicking. I’d RMA it but I don’t want to have to wait weeks if I don’t need to, so I I figured I’d try opening it myself. Unfortunately it seems like one of the back Torx 6 screws is stripped because the rest come out except for one that only spins in place. Is it possible to get it out since its recessed into a hole?
