Default 10 mill bolt just spins in exhaust manifold from egr tube

Hey everyone, looking for a little guidance. I stupidly over torqued the 10 milimeter bolt that holds the egr tube into the top of the intake manifold, now it just spins. Have searched threads and have found answers on how to fix it after bolt is removed. However nothing exsplaining on how they remove the bolt. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. 2000 camaro 5.7

Try prying up on it as you turn it, a pair of vice grips might help..

Just try and get under the bolt head with anything as you turn it out and it will come out with ease. Especially with it being a plastic manifold, it will have no problem catching a thread and back out
