Direct drive block caps rounded

Equipment
#1

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest how to remove a direct drive block cap from a Tacx neo? I’ve rounded the hex slot and when I use a pair of pliers, it strips the outside. It must be made of aluminium. I just can’t seem to loosen it.

I’m trying to swap it for the thru axel.

Edit: solved

I’ve scratched mine up some, but I found pliers with a thin rubber sheet between the pliers and the cap works.
