Try a regular SAE socket. Sometimes they can be forced over the stripped head and loosen the bolt. If not, the Craftsman Bolt Out set works great. I recently used my set on some rusty exhaust manifold bolts and had no trouble loosening them.

If there is room, use a 3 or 4 mm drill bit, (you could even drill a pilot hole with a smaller bit first) and drill a hole in the bolt then use an extractor to get it out.

Sears has a craftsman specialty socket for a 3\8 drive ratchet that will work !!!
