Any shops on here or anyone in gerneral know how to remove this stripped bolt?
<center><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd89/s4inlowplaces/CARMOTOROUT.jpg?t=1201654521"></center><p>So i tried hammering a bigger socket into it and it dint work, tried getting a dremel in there to maybe grind down the sides so that i codl put a socket over it but big bolt in the middle dosent give enough space. ALso tried dremeling out a slot so that i coudl use a big flat head in there but could get the dremel in at all. What should i do?

buy a torx and bit it in there slowly or the bolt out kit
those bolts shouldn't have much torque in them ..spray some liquid wrench or free all before going further.

The reason they strip, usually, is crud in the bolt head
keeps the allen from seating all the way in.
At this point, I would hammer a torx socket into the bolt head.
Spend more time hammering than you think you need. Doing this will help the threads break free.
I keep those bolts in stock and usually replace them with every TB I do.
