Subject:      stripped flywheel bolt

When I went to remove my flywheel today, I found that all of the hex bolts had been rounded a bit by the engine's previous owner. I managed to get four of them out with no real problems (just hammered the wrench into the bolt head). The last one was, and now is more of, a mess. I had applied WD-40, tapped it with a hammer, and applied heat. Any suggestions on what to do now? I'm planning on drilling it out tomorrow.

Thanks,

Karl Wolz
