I have also used a steel drift in the center of the bolt and a BIG OL HAMMER! smack it some kind Hard to shock the treads, Then Use a larger drift that does not go into the hold and smack it a few more times Try driving in a larger Hex or torx or anything known to man to get a bite in it and crank it out of there. Years ago I had a socket looking thing with a tappered inside with Teeth. Really cool thing in different sizes that you could go over the head and Bite in that way and torque it off. All in good fun!!
