there are special sockets that you use with your ratchet to get stripped bolts off.

yea you can pick up the "bolt out" kit at home depot or sears etc usually the small set is like $9.99 hopefully it will hav the size you need btw they arent like typical sockets they are labeled #1 #2 etc and they work with both metric and standard bolts....or you can also dremel or saw a straight line into the head of the bolt deep enough to get a flathead screwdriver intothe space and try that as well

Go to Sears and get a bolt extractor kit, it cost a lil bit over 25 bux but its well worth it. It comes in a Red case.

ok, well if you can get a nice flathead up under the bolt/screw you can give it enuff push so it may catch the threads and start to pull out. Hard to explain but if it was me i know how i would do it.
