The shank of the bolt is likely seized to the inner sleeve of the bushing. Try heating it up red hot with a torch and using an extractor socket made especially to remove stripped bolts. If the bolt breaks, you will be doing a lot of drilling or sawing.

Sears has a nice striped bolt head removal kit. It was on sale last week, sorry.
