Get some big easy outs to grab what is there or get someone with a mig welder to weld 8mmm bolts into the allen socket holes.

I have the AT out for refurbishing so went to fix the leaking front oil seal. Three of the flywheel (flex plate, actually) bolts came out easily, the other two remain firmly in place, and now have more of a round hole than a hex. I have never had the flex plate off: If I were to drill the heads off, would there be enough left to use a vise grip or such on the stub after the plate is out?
