What car/engine?

The head is stripped, or the threads? I'll assume the head.

You can drill the bolt head off, it will release rather suddenly though and that probably isn't very good for the head.

I've had good luck with the IRWIN internal-helix easy-out sockets available at Autozone/Napa/Advance Auto/et al. (used on OM603 head bolts).
