As long as the bolt is only stripped off and not cross threaded, I can tell you how to get the bolt out.
The pinch bolt is a 8mm x 1.25mm thread pitch, find a drill bit that is slightly larger than the body of the bolt, spray the bolt with Wd40 or cutting oil. Make sure the drill bit is in good sharp condition. start slowly drilling into the center of that damaged bolt head, putting firm pressure on the back of the drill. "slow steady drilling cuts better than fast drilling" keep drilling until you cut through the mushroomed part or head of the bolt. Eventually you will cut through the head of the bolt and into the body. The head will fall off and as long as you did not strip the bolt you can the use a left handed bit to back the bolt out. Very easy to do if you follow directions.
