Put the axle in the edge of a kerb with the t handle/ezy out facing out into the road.
Reverse a car onto the thru axle so it's under the tyre. Now unscrew the t handle.
You may need a second person and will also require a car.
If the car doesn't do it the progressively continue trying larger vehicles.

Trying to remove a thru axle with very rounded off hex hole. Looks like someone had previously hammered a torx in and bodged it, then over tightened again as that was rounded off too. Couldn't be arsed to do that, so bought a cheap Easyout tool. Took literally four seconds to get it out, incredible.
However, the tool is now properly stuck in the axle. So, how do I get this out? Axle slips in pliers and mole grips, don't have a vice handy...
