Default TQ Bolt Stripped
Out of the three hex bolts i was able to get two of them out. The other one is stripped out bad. Is there anyway i can get this out? I have been working on an install for 2 weeks now since i couldnt get it out

I had to heat mine up with a torch to even get them to budge, bought new bolts from the dealer that were hex headed.
