Hi Matt,to remove the plug from inside the bars I would screw in a bolt similar to the original but slightly longer,then attach vice grips to the bolt and hammer out (spray some wd40 inside the bars to ease extraction)pic 1. And if that doesn't work,cut the bars where you think the plug ends and tap out with a suitable drift,pic 2.
In answer to your p.s,the bars on the XTX are different from the XTR ,the XTX has alloy renthal type as standard while the XTR has slightly higher, (bendy) steel type as standard(why not alloy??????).
If you go for higher bars just make sure the cables and wire's will give you enough clearance.
