Default HELP!!! Stripped a 6mm bolt while doing my Timing Belt!

Title explains it all, I stripped one of the 6mm bolts on that holds the drivebelt pulley to the timing belt pulley!

8 o'clock. First came out fine, then this had to happen

I need help! Any ideas how to get that outta there? I have replacement bolts on hand I just don't know how to get it out of there. It is pretty much completely rounded out.

HELP!

go get an easy out kit form menards/home depot, and/or pb blaster may help, especially combine with needle nose vicegrips.

hammer a 12mm 12 point socket on to it. Works better than any extractor because of the limited space.
