Go down to the Vatozone and pick up a cheap 3 jaw puller.

all thread with the correct pitch and a nut and washer to push it on. takes the stress off the threads and crappy stock bolt, you break that inside wont be a fun day.

Just DON'T use a longer bolt as many have (including myself) Its not worth the risk.
