If you drill the head off can you get the remainder out? I would go
that route, or maybe use a grinder and dremel to grind it off.

I have a 'pebble in my shoe' kind of problem.....a small SS nut and
bolt on my bimini is seized....do I need to remove it , no....but it
should be able to come apart should it need to.
I have applied PB Blaster, ATF & acetone, Liquid Wench.....obviously,
a product is not the answer. I tried today (thanks to Mike Hoyt) the
'tool' that can grip a 'stripped head'.....all I was doing was
stripping it further and giving my right hand a palm blister.
I might be able to get a hack saw blade between the head of the bolt
and the SS tubing but it is going to be a challenge.
The bolt takes a 9 mm wrench, however, it is recessed so that getting
a wrench on it with any force doesn't work either. I can't turn the
bolt and I can't turn the nut. I could simply ignore the problem for
now but someday I have to get this opened so I might as well not
ignore the problem now.
Any and all suggestions are greatly welcomed.
