Thumbs down W126 - Stripped out bolt on steering wheel. Options?

On my SDL I pulled the airbag to see that the large ~10mm bolt that holds down the wheel to the column is stripped already. Maybe that's why the switch was bad when I picked up the car.

What are my options to try to remove this thing? I need it off so I can replace my combo switch. Only thing that's crossed my mind yet is to JB Weld a 10mm hex socket in there and see if that'll be strong enough to try to get it out.

Aside from that I really have no clue where to start on its removal...
