Well welcome to the world of stripped bolts.
The best way to remove the bolt is to drill a hole in the center of the bolt. Be careful to make sure you stay in the center of the bolt. Then use an easy out to remove the bolt.

You will need a new bolt from either Mercedes or a local hardware store, A really good hardware store. It's an unusual bolt for normal stores.
