Try drilling it out with a smaller diameter bit .If not get some easy outs from sears it is a kit that will be worth it's weight in gold if you are planning on working on your own car..Good luck

drill it out, use a clip and a 10mm bolt and your set, or you can be lazy and weld them on like i did ...lol...

After I got mine off (rusted like hell)

I wirebrushed the bolts, WD-40'd the **** outa them and the bolt hole (which is threaded)

covered it in neverseize and stuck it back in and out a few times and now it works great
