striped valve cover bolts on b18b1
ok, so i found oil in my spark plug hole and im figuring it is the little gaskets between the valve cover and the head, but anyway i tried to unbolt the bolts and 3 of them kept spining and spining can any help out and knows were i can new studs for it and how to put them in, thanks
i have trouble believing the threads are actually stripped on the bolts themselves, those nuts are notorious for stripped threading. order new ones from acura, and i would carefully use vice grips using upward force to remove the stripped nuts. ive had to do it once myself.

they're either part # 18 or 19 depending on the location of the bolt.
its hard to tell from the picture but they have a hex head towards the bottom of the stud and you can actually use a deep socket to take them out
