is it flush? or can you get some vise grips on it? If not.. drill her out

try to drill a small hole in the center of the bolt and use a small easy out....thats your best bet.


Good luck.

try making a slot on the top of the bolt with a dremel disc, then use a flat screw driver (or ratchet with a screwdriver head socket) to back it out.
