My guess would be if they have stripped heads, they are seized in the heads.
I would put some heat to them before I went any further. I like welding a
nut to the stripped head. It gives you a new hex head to wrench on and also
heats up the bolt to help loosen it. If this isn't an option, put a torch to
them and then us the Sears extractors on the bolt head.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] stripped x-man bolts
Hi Guys,
Any tips for getting out x-man bolts that have stripped heads? Is there a
metric socket that I can jam on there, should I try a torch, or do you
think maybe I should grind the heads off and then get the shafts out
separately? I don't need to preserve the x-mans but I do need to get them
off.
Thanks,
John Nasta
