If the head is striped and a socket or wrench will no longer grip the bolt you can get a set of bolt extractors at any local auto parts store...they will dig into the bolt head so you can remove it...just make sure to get a new bolt or brake hardware kit while your at the parts store.

How do you remove caliper so you can change brake pads?
on the caliper take out the bottom bolt, there are two bolts that the caliper slides on and only undo the bottom one. Then the caliper will swing up and allow access to the disc pads . You need to get a G-clamp and push the piston in the caliper back( or else it wont fit back down). put it back together and pump the brakes to set the brake piston b4 you drive or the first time you go to brake you wont have any.

How do you change front brakes on 1987 Mazda pickup?
Take the front wheels off. turn steering so that you can access the brake caliper. Remove lower bolt on caliper. Pull the caliper up and take out the old pads. Depress the piston for the caliper all the way. i use channel locks. Careful not to damage the rubber gaskets and grommets. Put the new pads in the caliper and swing the caliper back over the disc. Grease the bolt with lithium grease and put a little anti seize on the threads. Put bolt back in and tighten. Repeat proceedure on other wheel. You might neede to take a little brake fluid out of the master cylinder to depress calipers all the way to get new pads in. I've done this 8-10 times as I've had my truck for 22 years. Probably take less than an hour.
