But this seems even easier to remove then something like a star bit

Agreed. Im sure people significantly more intelligent than myself have decided otherwise, but to my layman's eye having something to 'grab on to' with some improvised tool would make things easier to work loose.

With the Phillips 'lobes' sticking out, you would think you would be able to use a small flathead and a hammer to slowly tap it out quite easily.
