Might be worth a try.
I also did a similar thing with a w126 lug bolt that had its head ripped off. So i took a socket slightly smaller then the shank and bashed it in, and managed to loosen it.
Hope this helps

I had a similar situation in PNP. Found a 617 FW in a 81 300D. got everything out and was down to the last bolt holding the Pressure
Plate in. Previous owner or mechanic stripped out the bolt.

it was about closing time, Nov, cold, wind blowing, packed up and left.
Next morning came back with a set of these.
Pounded the second to the smallest into the bolt head

and out she came.
Was not in tight, just could not get a grip on it. These things worked great.
Got the FW out and was only $27.
