What cassette is on the bike now? Does your wife use the lowest

How much of the bolt is sticking out? Enough to grab with a
ViseGrip? If so, I'd try that first. Make sure to grab it REALLY
tight or it will just slip and make things worse.
If it's flush with the post, an Easy Out screw extractor might be your
first option.
