Since you striped the bolts with ball ended, there still could be enough 
meat to try standard tool, but as I said earlier, you MUST use 1/4 inch 
size (long ext., U-J , short 6 mm allen), to be able to reach with no 
angle, and tap on the extension to make sure is all the way in. Also 
pointed earlier, prior to removal, a shock is a MUST for all allen key 
bolts, especially now when bolt slots are damaged. If all fails, cutting 
a slot is quicker and easier to do with a blade than cutting it. Use 
same 1/4 bits with normal s/driver bit.

Cheers,

Ado
