Purchase the appropriate sized easy out and drill bit from an auto parts store and drill into the center of the bolt head, you then insert the easy out and its reverse threads will back the bolt out. ( as you tighten the easy out counterclockwise the bolt will loosen )

When the 13mm battery hold down has stripped, then you have a couple of options. You could use a longer bolt of a smaller diameter to go through the stripped out section then lock down with a nut on the bottom, or the 13mm can be drilled out and tapped to a bigger size.
There is a tool called a bolt remover that can be used to get the bole out. A hole is drilled in the middle of the bolt then the tool is inserted and turned to back the bolt out.
You will need a metric Allen wrench (7 mm).Jack up passenger side and place jack stand. Remove wheel. Take a screwdriver and work it in between brake pad and rotor. Once done, apply steady pressure on brake pad until you push the caliper piston as far in (toward engine) as it will go. You will need to remove caliper bolts. They are on the back of the caliper at top and bottom. Place Allen wrench in each bolt and turn wrench towards front of vehicle to remove. Once removed, remove caliper with brake pads inside. Match new brake pads with old and put new pads in like you removed the old pads. Place new pads and caliper back on vehicle and replace caliper bolts. If caliper and new pads do not slide easily back in place,you may need to get a large c-clamp and push piston back in caliper a little more. After you get caliper back on and tightened, get in car and pump your brake pedal until it is hard to push. This resets the brake pads. Replace wheel and your done!!

The knuckle could be heli-coiled if the damage is not too bad. If the stripped threads are on the caliper, replace the caliper.
To remove a stripped hex bolt, you can use a tool called a bolt extractor. This tool is designed to grip onto the stripped bolt and turn it counterclockwise to loosen and remove it. Simply insert the bolt extractor into the stripped bolt and turn it with a wrench or socket until the bolt comes out.
If the bolt is stripped, you can try using a different tool or method to remove it, such as using a screw extractor or tapping a larger size bolt into the stripped hole. If these methods don't work, you may need to seek professional help to remove the stripped bolt.
To remove a stripped Allen bolt using an extractor, first drill a small hole into the center of the bolt. Then insert the extractor into the hole and turn it counterclockwise to grip the bolt. Use a wrench to turn the extractor and remove the bolt.
the caliper bolt should be a 13mm and the bracket or "bridge" bolt should be an 18mm or a 21mm
To effectively remove a stripped hex bolt using a bolt extractor, follow these steps: Select the appropriate size bolt extractor that fits snugly into the stripped bolt. Insert the bolt extractor into the stripped bolt and turn it counterclockwise with a wrench to grip the bolt securely. Apply steady pressure while turning the extractor to loosen and remove the stripped bolt. If the bolt does not come out easily, apply penetrating oil to help loosen it. Once the bolt is removed, clean the area and inspect for any damage before installing a new bolt.
The Rear Caliper Bottom Bolt head size is 12 mm. The Top bolt is enclosed only making it a slide bolt therefore you cant and really have no need to remove it. So the only bolt you should remove is the bottom 12mm head bolt. Then there will be a 14mm bolt that will hold the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket to the Caliper. Loosen this bolt and remove the Emergency Brake Cable Bracket from the Caliper. Then pry the bottom of the caliper up off the disc. This will allow you to swing the caliper up then push the caliper back to slide the caliper off the enclosed bolt slide at the top of the caliper. This will allow access to the inside and outside pads to remove them and allow you to press and rotate the Piston (Push and Twist-in Pistons) back into the Caliper with the right Brake Caliper Compression tool. The rear two Caliper Bracket bolt head sizes are 18mm. You must remove the Caliper bracket in order to remove the rear brake disc. The Front Brake Caliper Bolt is a 3/8" Allen head bolt. There will be two bolts holding the front calipers to the Spindle. The Front calipers are standard push-in Pistons.
What size Allen socket is needed to remove bolt from caliper on 2004 ford escape

The best tool to use for removing a stripped allen bolt is an extractor or a screw extractor. This tool is specifically designed to grip onto the stripped bolt and remove it from the surface.
To efficiently remove a stripped hex bolt, you can try using a bolt extractor tool or a left-handed drill bit. These tools can help grip onto the bolt and turn it counterclockwise to loosen and remove it. Additionally, applying penetrating oil to the bolt and allowing it to sit for some time can help loosen the bolt and make it easier to remove.
