If you stipped the actual hex, just weld on a closed end wrench like the one HERE
If you actually stripped the threads on the bolt, you're ****ed.

i just stripped the head and i would do it this way except the fact that i am doing the rebuild on schofield and they require you to have a certification to use the welder

btw, a new bolt from the dealer is only like $8 I think. I had to do this very thing last year. I welded on a box end wrench and put a steel pipe over it. Came right off.
