Unhappy 1984 W126 Steering Wheel Removal Help

So ... last weekend I attempted to remove my steering wheel to replace a broken turn signal. I had 10mm allen attachement on a 27" break away bar and IMMEDIATELY ... upon rotation the allen turned through the hole and stripped the opening. UGH...I am fit to be tied.

According to MB, this requires 58 lbs of torque to remove. That's quite a bit. How the heck am I going to remove this now, and I can't even fathom why MB engineers thought to use an allen fitting over a bolt on something like this that requires so much torque.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Noivice@Best
