How to get a striped bolt out

Its on the lower intake on the lower right hand side. Its the one u cant see but only feel. How would I go about this or should I send it in. Looks like the whole engine would need to come apart.

If it's too hard to take it out after a couple hours (assuming you tried liquid wrench), just take it to a mechanic. They usually have better tools.

Good luck and use some snti-seize when those are going back in.

Sounds like a case of "U.R. Fuqed."
When I twisted off a couple bolts on my exhaust manifold swapping downpipes, the dealer actually did a decent job getting them out. For removing all the studs and putting in bolts it cost me just over $250. Noone else around here would even look at my car. The dealer I go to has a 3rd Gen owner that's a mechanic, so I always let him know if I have to bring my car in (just that once so far).
