Caliper Bolt Stripped

I grabbed a 3/16 Allen instead of the 5mm and stripped the head on the slide bolt, its recessed in the caliper. Do you have any suggestions on how to get a stripped bolt out of the caliper?

Sincerely,

Bob

Bob,

Use a Torx bit one size larger and a hand impact (the one I use for lower fork drain bolts)Wrench Safe, FMH
