You’ll need a stripped bolt socket. They work well. Notice it’s not a cheap noname brand cause if these fail it’s bad.

Tap it hard over the bad head so it takes a bite. Might have to gently lay the bike over to gain better axis. Times like this you’ll go from bad to worse if you rush or don’t make a calculated approach so work smart. Murphy’s law has a sense of humor I don’t like.

Don’t toss the bolt so fast, use it to match up a replacement on length. Napa has a lot. Good luck.
