Default Stripped endlink

Ok so,
I was trying to install a 22mm sway bar on my 02 ex and the stupind little hex hex for the endlink stripped. Any one have a good way to get theese off??? prefer not to cut it but if I must. Also anybody have a clue what a new one will run me or if theres a way to save it? I would love to just replace theese being that they are junk (in design and function) but I dont have the spare cash to buy $50 function7 ones.
Thanks

Well, you could try using a torch to heat it up and remove it that way. Then, if you want to try and re-use the endlink, have someone weld an Allen wrench in the stripped hole.

Get a pair of vice grips on the metal washer looking thing (I don't know how to describe it). I've stripped out 3 endlinks and the vice grips have worked every time.
