FIXED!
For the timing cover, I used the Irwin socket that grabs the stripped bolt. There was just enough room for the socket to fit over the bolt and in between the recessed hole at the center of the timing cover. I hammered the socket down onto the bike and was able to turn it out. Unfortunately, I did not have a spare bolt so I had to reuse the stripped one, but I took the sides down and made it into a 9mm socket bolt so I was able to torque it back in with no problem. The other bolt was more of a challenge as it was my col d start valve bolt and there was no room at all to get the grabber tool over the bolt. I started drilling it, but I did not see the the drill was even going into the bolt. I then switched to a diamond studded rotary saw, but I could only cut half of the tio of the bolt. Finally, I took out the other bolt closes to the firewall side, grabbed the csv with vice grips and began twisting and turning it and moving it around until finally the other bolt became loose and I was able to twist it out. I of course broke a small piece of the brittle plastic hose that the csv sits in, but nothing that would cause it to have an ill-effect. I do want to replace the plastic hose, but I can wait on that for now.
