Thumbs down Stripped bolts/screw service?

hey guys i got 2 stripped bolts that i need to get out.

one is a spark plug cover bolt (stripped allen bolt, holds down the cover that says V-TEC on it)

and the other is a fairing bolt on my CBR f4i.

someone local to the OC got the tools or the tricks to get it out for me? ill buy you like a monster energy drink or get you a venti frappucino or something haha

*ive tried JB cold welding a screw to the bolts but once i twist it just comes undone*

Just drill them out.
Select a drill bit that is a bit smaller then the screw head. Slowly drill out the top part but leave the remaining shaft of the screw, remove the cover. The screw shaft should be sticking out, then use a plier or a needle nose plier to remove it.
This is the easy way. Otherwise you would have to get yourself a mac tool to remove the stripped bolt or screw.

Go buy a bit, that has more points on it that the standard 6. Jam it in there, and it should release it because it can grip better.

anyone still down to help?

thinking maybe just need to borrow someones dremel and cut off discs (do it at your place) to cut some notches so i can flat head it out

i called a stripped bolt specialist and mother F@#$er wanted to charge me 150 for 2 small stripped bolts that would probably take him 30 seconds to remove both.

anyway. still need some help

thanks
