Try to grab a bolt with plyers. Turn and pull at the same time.
Try to carefuly wedge a screwdriver between the body and the bolt. Turn and pry the screwdriver. With this technique the stripped bolt may grab the good threads.

Good luck,

first buy 2 new bolts... then take a grinder and cut a slit in the face that will fit a flat head screwdriver into. then get one of those adapters to put a screwdriver head on a socket and go to town (it helps to spray some PB Blaster on it if you have some)
