I got it off, but the hard way.
JB welding a sacrifical wrench in there didn't work.
EZ-outs didn't work.
So I started drilling it. For how easily it stripped, the bolt was VERY hard. Some premium metal drill bits hardly put a dent in it. I think the allen socket was really loose, which is why it stripped so easily (yes, I checked, I had the right wrench).
Trying to drill it out heated enough to start melting the tupperware stock, so I just pulled the bolt through and used vice grips to remove it when I had easy access. Was going to sell the factory stock, but can't now... oh well. I was trying to remove the bolt to put on a new stock, so a quick trip out to get a new bolt, then cut the new bolt to the proper height (it was an odd height), and slap her in the new stock and she is good to go.
Won't make that mistake again though. A 10 minute project turned to a 3 hour project with 3 trips to the store (1 for JB weld, 1 for EZ outs, and one for a replacement bolt).
