Grab a torx bit one size up and tap it into the stripped hole... the sharp edges usually bite enough to get it turning. Just go slow and use steady pressure so you don't crack the carbon. A little heat on the bolt can help too if there's thread locker.

Two degrees off sounds like a lot but honestly, my old eyeball method got me decent shots for years. The extra ten minutes with a tool feels like overkill unless you're doing super long exposures. I'd rather just start shooting and fix any small drift in post.

That space heater story makes me cringe just thinking about it.
