A popular method seems to be to use a tungsten carbide drill into the remaining head of the grub screw, then gently hammer in a torx screwdriver bit, apply heat to the bit using a soldering iron, then attach the screwdriver body and it should remove easily.

Thanks all. I have now managed to find a front fixing prop driver that fits. All tested and the propshaft luckily is not bent to no need to remove grubscrews now. Result! Thanks for all your input.

Another "last resort" but needs the use of a grinding wheel. Get the correct size Allen key, quickly "dab" the long end of the key on the grinding wheel, this allows a useful burr to form, don't be too gentle or you won't get a burr. Line up the key with what's left of the hex socket, push in firmly. The burr folds back and forms a fairly tight fit in the socket.
