you could buy something like this [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I think they sell them inividually so you don't have to spend all that money.

maybe take a dremel and cut a very shallow slit enough to get a slotted screw driver in there? But buy new bolts afterwards of course.

just some possible ideas.

i would say you need to find a machinest to drill out and retap the holes. i have had the same problem over the years and thats the best correct fix.

Just to emphasize this. I literally dip the bolts in anti-seize and back the bolts all the way in and all the way out. I've had trouble in the past....can't you tell
