93 TA bellhouseing bolt stripped Please help. Was taking trans out and got to the far bolt on drivers side and I stripped the head on it. Got the socket grips to grip it and still wont come out. Any helpful advice please? Thanks ahead of time.

I assume the transmission is out? And you just need to remove this bolt in the block?
Maybe PB Blaster overnight and then try your Vice Grips, both clockwise and counterclockwise.

no its not out cant get trans to drop without getting that bolt off first. Thats the problem we are having. Cant get to bolt due to where its at and cant get hand in there and trans wont drop without it out. Done know if there is pressure on it some how why it still wont come out or what. Thought about trying to heat it to get it out but not sure if its a good idea or if there are other ways that I can get it out.

Sorry misunderstood; thought you ripped the entire head off and the shaft was still stuck in the block.
I've never used a torch and therefore have no heading advice or cautions.
I would just grind off the head, but maybe someone else has a trick.
