Stop, do not round further.
Find a DECENT Small screwdriver that fits tightly.
Tap it in if need be.
Carefully attempt removal.

I've done this many times on small grub screws.

You could try to extract it with a few different sizes of Philips screw drivers.
A drop of VG may help lubricate it out also.

sometimes a Torx bit will still get a bite when a hex key won't anymore. Depends on how bad and how deep it's stripped. Like crxess says, if you feel it's getting a little bite, tap it in snug (like with a li'l hammer) before you take yer shot. Might just get one chance with it.

It really is worth getting a good driver for your grubs. MIP Thorp 1.3mm might be the one. (this size will work on many grubs/atties)

On the Torx, probably a T-6 size. You can grind the tip of it a bit if you feel you need it a bit "bigger"/snugger.

Get the smallest philips head you have, put a thin rubber band over the end and unscrew.
The rubber fills the gap in the head of the grub screw and creates enough friction that the screw should come out with ease.
Must have done this a dozen times, works every time

One of my grubs did it as well on Velocity clone. Did not take much to round it when tightening. Replaced it with the spare that came with it but, am looking at replacing them with better grubs. Maybe phillips grubs?
