Have you tried prying it out? Wear safety glasses...

Do you have a bailing wire? And could you possibly get the wire around the back side of the bolt? Loop it around the bolt if possible and use vise grips to hold the two ends of the wire and pull, don't punch yourself in the face though.

Large L shaped pick to pry it out. Oh and try wd-40 or some lubricant to help slip it out.

I cant get much other than a screw driver or needle nose in there. Tried both and it was a no go. Got it soaking right now in some oil but other than that I'm out of ideas.

Set it on a heating pad set on high for an hour or so. See if that might help.
