Default Allen bolt stripped on RF amp, Wont come off help please.

My friend let me borrow an amp, the allen bolt on the ground is stripped, and also looks like someone broke a screwdriver or allen wrench on it too,s o there's metal on top of that, i tried taking needle nose pliers to pull it out, tried to cut it up , tried some other stuff, wedging it..but it just won't come off, is there anyway i can force this thing out? Thanks

if the head of the allen set screw is above the terminal, you could dremel a straight cut so that you can remove it with a flat bladed screw driver.

If it's countersunk, you are going to have to drill it I thhink, then punch your friend in teh face....
