Stripped 5mm screw/bolt on endlink

I was trying to remove the oem rear sway bar to make way for the rsx rear swaybar.

However, me being a dumbass, stripped one of the 5mm screw/bolts on the driver side endlink.

Other than going to the dealership or a shop and asking them to remove that sucker, is there another way I can do it ? The damn 14 mm bolt is almost off too

Suggestions would be most appreciated.

Go to Sears and buy one of those stripped bolt remover sets. That should work. They have them for screws, bolts, fasteners, pretty much everything.

If you got the nut far enough off, sometimes you can get a pair of pliers on the bolt behind the nut and keep turning it off. You could JB weld an allen wrench into the hole (I'm assuming you stripped out the allen hole) then keep turning it off, or get a drill, and drill out the bolt until the nut breaks free. I don't remember exactly what the endlink looks like, I can't remember if the bolt is a separate part or not. You may need to replace the whole thing no matter what. If that is the case, just destroy it, but don't mess up anything around it.
