If you don't have the gator grip lol. Depending on what the bolts for And how tight it is I either use a small cut off wheel and cut the head into a square our cut a slot in it and use a flat head just all depends wd40 really helps loosin it up

I've never used a bolt extractor ever. I guess I've always been lucky getting shit out

There is also drill bits you can buy to back it out with a drill considering if you have enough space to fit a drill in there .

Only reason why it got stripped was because of that damn socket that cracked somehow, damn cheap tool obviously.
