Question Stupid tranny problem please help!

I drained my transmission oil and went to try to unscrew the side tranny bolt to add new transmission, and the god damn bolt seems like its never been removed so after trying to get the ****** bolt off i have now striped it a great deal.
I feel like a complete moron but the prob is i cant get it off and i cant drive the car with now tranny oil. All i was using for a tool was an opened ended 14mm wrench
Is there any other tool i can use that wont strip the bolt any further?? What should i do

Sounds like time for vice-grips or Easy-outs

yup, torch and vise grip was the ONLY way mine would come out.

Be prepared to spend $1 for a new bolt from the dealer .

Vice grips are the way to go, Nothin else could really do it. Just make em real tight and give it a good twist
