Firstly better to use a correctly size star bit - I find hex (or allen) keys strip them really easily.
Secondly you don't need to tighten it down a lot - just finger tight. I learned this because I was having double feed issues due to over tightening.

I bought a second hand bar 10 and the previous owner had totally stripped the rear screw. I use a dremel and a router to cut a slot (but later replaced it as it was gradually disintegrating).,
I have heard that if you super glue a screw driver into the hole this can get it out also. Wait for it to set, unscrew, then snap it off afterwards. Never tried it though!
Other option is to drill it out but I would really avoid that as you could chew up the thread in the stock and then you'd be in trouble!
