You could try tapping in the next size up and making shore all dirt has been removed or try some good mole grips on them failing that it maybe a chope off job or a special tool from halfrauds maybe ?

Had the same problem when stripping down mine, just got the grinder out with a almost spent  cutting disc which is much smaller. Needing a new bolt myself.
