Oh dear - well an alternative method could be to remove the axle at the wheel end and pull it away from the hub (probably have to remove the parking brake cable). Then remove the cover for the differential and pull out the C clip that holds the flange bit for the annular axle in place.

(You could then decide whether you want to remove the damaged bolt or not)
