can you get a die grinder in there, if so try cutting a slot into the head of the bolt like we did on jerrys s/c pulley, then get a flat head screwdriver an hopefully it breaks loose

Genius idea. I've never thought about that before! I had this happen to me to but I was able to get a larger Allen wrench in and get it out.
