Need help quick! Front suspension fork bolt!

It seems the previous owner stripped the front suspension fork bolt already. Whats the easiest way to remove the shock and spring without removing the fork? Thanks.

Are you talking about the pinch bolt, at the bottom of the shock?

If the head is still on but is just stripped. You can get an extractor which is a socket that cuts into the head of the bolt and grips it, then you can throw a ratchet on and get it out that way. Best of luck.
