broke a bolt doing headers :(

i know this isnt that important of a bolt, i was taking off the driverside pipe/cat, and there is 3 bolts well the first 2 acully broke off which was ok, and the 3rd one stripped now when i put my socket up there it doesnt do nothing, just spins well catches some then spins somemore, andways these parts will not be used again so i need to find a way to brake the cat loose from the manifold flange so i can take the manifold off. i can move the flange like maybe a 1/4 inch all around except where that one bolt is, so please help me out

You could try to remove the manifold with the cat/pipe. yank the plugs, the steering linkage and unbolt at the y connection. try to maneuver it all out at once.

Or find someone with small forearms and with a flexable dremel attachment. That might work
