I was working on my brakes and got the first side done and went to the other side and while trying to remove the calipar bolts, stripped one and the bolt broke off of the other.
Appreciate any help on how I can get these off?

I had a similar problem.
I took a Dremel tool to the pin using a cutting wheel disc, in between the caliper opening on the top (where you can see the pads and rotor). This allowed me to twist the caliper off once the pin was cut, I then used a vise grip on the pin to turn it out of the caliper bracket.
Any good parts store will carry replacement pins and bushings.
