Unhappy Stripped bolt...help

Ok its been on thecar a while now...and of all bolts to "strip" its got to be the motor mount...Its not fully stripped but if you dont get a good bite on it the next time youll be fucked. Anybody know of a tool/idea to help me get this damn thing off? I need it off to paint, I have another mount(not in as good condition though, thats why i want to reuse this one) but if i have to i can grind it(last resort) helps appreciated. thanks

where is it? easy to reach with a file or clamp-wrench? had a lug strip on me once, had to weld a socket to it to get the mofo off.

Yup, you might even catch a decent price on the kit, nationwide tool sale going on this weekend.

hammer the closest size onto it, like the next smaller standard size.
use an impact wrench to take it off.
