you can get the strip tool from sears or something. its a bolt that goes over the striped bolt and then you just turn it out with a socket and a ratchet

I've never tried this...this is pure speculation..but what if you tried with a pair of channel lock or something? No go? (no flame plz, I've never tried this) Get a torch and heat it till it's soft, but not mush.....then it should come off with a pair of pliars, if you can't get them in there, the only thing I've found to work is to cut it off.
Or
Try drilling with a bit slighly bigger than the bore of the bolt, if you hit it just right you can cause a stress fracture in the nut and it'll come off afteru play with it a bit, just becareful not to split the bolt tho
Sorry if this doesn't help
