05 R6 stripped engine mount bolt

I just got my cage so i took the left side plastic off to remove the engine mounting bolt and the head was stripped. Its a 8 mm allen head. Does anyone have any idea on how to get it out

I've run into stripped torx head bolts on euro cars and I use a reversed ez out. It's like a screw extractor but backward like a socket with the inside having reverse threads. Hammer it on and ratchet it out.

Google craftsman bolt out set. It's Only $20 and you can pick it up at any sears outlet. I tried to post a link and pic but for some reason my phone won't let me.
