Bolt is officially stripped. Got the other one out though. Vise grips didn't work. I even tried hammering the hex-bit in, thought I almost had it and it stripped.

I borrowed my g/f's dad's air compressor and air chisel. It barely made an indention on it and I've been at it for 30 min and basically rounded off 2 chisels already.

try a regular chisel and a big f"n hammer. Sharpen the chisel with a grinder every few minutes. I used an air chisel on the ball joint rivets and it didnt do much either. I then used a fat chisel and a big hammer and that seemed to work better. Its gonna be hard to do being your in such a tight place.

In a 2wd its cake, you can do it pretty easily just need an extra person to help guide the trans once you get the engine off it mounts.

Use a SawZaw and just cut the head off of it then worry about it once it is out. If you don't have a SawZaw use a hack saw blade. Might take awhile thou....
