Default How do you take off a stripped bolt?

The 10mm bolt on my valve cover is stripped and i can't get it off. How do you take it off?

get a smaller socket and hammer it on it to make it snug as a virging and then take off. That is what I did for my whell locks and it worked fine. Good luck

stripped right? not rounded? if it's a stripped chrome grommet nut it's kind of a bitch my friend had that problem. what I did was cut the grommet with some really good cutting dikes and then stuck a screw driver under the nut adding pressure like if I was prying it and wrenched it off. I did it this way because he didn't have air tools.
