Default Need Help! Stripped caliper bolt

My rear caliper bolt head is stripped, not the threads it bolts into. I can't get it off, and need some advice for what one would do in this situation?

Vice Grips? Hammer an impact socket onto it? Extractor kit from Sears? I think they have one designed for lugnuts. Look in the DIY section here for a tut.

this should do it. you tap them onto the bolt head and then as you loosen, it digs in and should let you turn it.

how did you strip them? were you using standard sockets on the metric bolts?

It was already too strippe to use 14mm socket on it. And I made it worse by trying vice grips.
