A friend of mine got a stripped bold out by welding a piece of steel to it, but not sure if you're able to do that sort of thing. Vise-Grips maybe?

Try an Easy Out? Or you may have to drill the bolt out and re-tap the hole. Hopefully it's not in a hard-to-reach spot!

Thats why I'm kinda glad we have nuts instead of the bolts. At least up front, not sure about back.
