It's the kind you've got to get out with an allen wrench. When I was trying to get it out the first time it stripped out the inside where the allen goes. The next size allen up won't fit and the one i was trying to use just turns around freely in the bolt. Any ideas of how to get the bolt out now?

Yes one more chance! before the electric drill! drive over to the auto parts store try this valve lapping compound either fine or course dab a little into the hole tap in the allen hex wrench with a hammer and the sandy coumpound will grip the sides of the bolt I hope it works for you as well as it does for me. Foreign cars really like socket head cap screws and bolts And I have rounded our my share over thirty years.

Jason-
Yeah, you are probably going to need a tool called an "Easy Out".
Its a special tap that you will drill a hole into the top of the bolt, then this device will get tapped in with a hammer, (lightly).
It has teeth on it that will create its own grip, and you sould be able to back the bolt out with that.
Just be careful when you do this, if you break off that easy out, you are in for some real fun and games.
Good Luck!

You can get a special bit at the parts store that you drive into the rounded hole.

vise grips if it sticks out at all enough to get them on it.

cut a slot in top of it and use a regular screw driver.
