Stripped IM Stud

Alright so I'm doing putting in my spacers today. Took off the throttle body. Removed the Plenum cover and began removing the bolts. THE LAST BOLT slips and gets stripped. I almost cried. I tried everything to take it out but, it is torqued and everything. Should I just take it to Autozone and have them take care of it? Advice guys IMA NOOB!

Autozone-? Don't think so. From your descript.- is it the bolt head that's stripped, not the threads? If so maybe a stud remover would work.

what i would do personally would be to go with a smaller socket one size smaller and bang it with a hammer for that it is flush into the head bolt and twist it out let me know if that works

Sears (and others) sell special "sockets" for removing bolts w/ stripped heads. Not too expensive and they work provided you have something left of the head to work with & the threads aren't seized so badly that the head breaks off.
