I'm at my wits end trying to remove an engine side cover bolt that the hex stripped out in in my F 200 on the oil change plug side. It is the highest bolt and tight to access. I tried drilling into it and using an easy out but cannot get any easy out to bite in it... of course I have a bell mouthed 1/8 hole in it now. I have used PB Blaster on it to no avail. Kinda backed myself in a corner now and hate to take it to the dealer for something relatively simple.... Does anyone have any better ideas or tools? Just pretty frustrated at the moment..... Thank you.....

A couple links below for screw extractors I have used in aviation maintenance with good success, be sure to the hole diameter is correct and deep enough.
I use an T-handle tap wrench to drive for the type that Aircraft Spruce carries, and a 1/4 inch drive ratchet for the ones available on Amazon.
