If there's enough of the bolt remaining, try backing it out with a pair of needle nose pliars.

If that fails, drilling it out is your best bet. Preferably using a reverse drill bit to back it out when it catches and some steady hands, should be no biggie.

Same **** happened to me, had to swap dizzy casings because the drill messed it up .

well at this point... i dont even feel like going through the work unless a casing is expensive. that brings up the question... how much is a distributor casing?

I don't think anyone sells just the case, but you could always try to find a bad distributor and just swap everything into that case.
