How to Remove "Stripped" Wet Box Screws??

Three of the four Torx screws that hold the gear/wet box to the rack are frozen in their brass inserts. The inserts just spin in the plastic when I try to remove them.

I've tried holding the underside of the insert with an angled pliers but can't get a good enough grip on them.

I need suggestions for removing the screws/inserts.

You could drill them out and replace them with helicoils, etc.
