please help with date formatting

I'm just not getting this. I'm pulling a startdate value from a document
using a vbscript query and when I output it in XSL it appears like this:

2002-12-25T12:00:00.000

I need it to look like this: Wed, Dec. 25

I'm going in circles, I can't get it to work using vbscript functions to
xsl, can't use xsl to format it, I don't know what to do and its driving me
crazy. This particular sharepoint stylesheet uses these namespaces:

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="uri:xsl"
xmlns:dav="DAV:"
xmlns:office="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:attributes="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:publishing:"
xmlns:fulltext="urn:schemas.microsoft.com:fulltextqueryinfo:">

This is my XSL code that is generating the date:

<TD valign="top" align="left" class="NormalBlackLimeBG">
<xsl:value-of select="dav:propstat/dav:prop/office:StartDate"/>
</TD>
