Default header install problem

this is my problem, i dont usually run into this stuff but this time i screwed my self over. i thought to myself that oh just headers done it before easy can do it at home in the garage where i have almost no tools only the bare minimum. so i take everything out and just my luck on the last nut i realize that its stripped out. i tried everything i could does anyone have any ideas on what i should do because right now my car is no good to me sitting in the garage with no headers and i dont want to drive it to the garage to where the tools are at. anything would be appreciated thanks

If u have anymore sockets get the next size down and pretty much hammer it on! The bolt will be screwed but you should get enough to turn it. Put some Wd-40 to losen the bolt so you dont have to put to much torque to break it free. G/L!

Craftsman makes a stripped bolt remover if you want to look into buying it.
