What to do when you strip the head bolt and cannot get it out?

If you have stripped the head of a head bolt you will need to either obtain a special socket that grabs stripped bolt heads (Craftsman makes one), or you will need to drill the center out of the bolt and insert an "easy out." The second option is extremely difficult.
Your third option, if you are very accurate and surgically precise would be to drill the bolt to only the inside diameter of the threads. This will cut the threads of the bolt off into the threads of the hole. Then you can use a tap to clear the threads, being very careful not to allow any metal shavings to fall into the engine.
