pick up a set of bolt removers. Sears sells them. I think they are called Easy outs or something like that. The easy part is all hype but it's either that or you will have to fully drill it out and re-thread it. If you do drill it out make sure you use a bit that will not drill out the threads. Then use a tap and die set to remake the threads. Sucks.... Just make sure you do everything from the very center of the bolt and make sure you have plenty of room to go in perfectly strait!
