What bolt is it? If it's something like a bolt for the midpipe then you can get a dremmel and cut it, then buy a new one. If it's something like a head bolt then it's a bit more of a problem.

Worst case scenario... drill it out.

Yeah, either grind/cut it, or drill and easy out it etc. Stuck hardware can be a REAL pia sometimes

Looks like someone needs to hit the gym and work on their upper body strength
