Workout. Just messing with ya. Try a 6 point socket and a long cheater bar, or breaker bar. If it's rusty, spray some PB blaster on it first and let it soak a few minutes.

PB blaster is a rust penetrating catalyst spray. It really does a good job of freeing up siezed bolts. It really works, like it says. You can pick up a spray can of it probably at the zone or NAPA. Or wherever. Your choice.

Just drill it out, then pick out the remains. If you damage the threads, no worries. Simply tap it out to the same size. And if that messes it up, drill it out again, and heli coil it.
