Default Stripped Bolt help

In an attempt to remove the differential i stripped three of the eight bolts that couple the driveshaft to the differential. They are torqued on really tight and am just looking for ideas to get the damn things off. I bought an extractor to try and get them out but i cant fit the drill bit well enough to effectively remove them. Thanks for the help gents

I have replacement bolts and guides if you need them after you remove the old ones.

They're brass and they suck. I sat there with a metal file and filed them down.
