Exclamation Exhaust Stripped bolt Removal

The nut on my Y-Pipe is now completely stripped. I bought the craftsmen bolt-out, but it stripped it even more. It sucks because its my last bolt until i can tear out the stock exhaust. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

cut through the darn bolt. i had the demon bolt stuck halfway out when i was doing my HFC install and ended up cutting through it with a flexible dremel extension in 2min flat. you can always buy a new bolt directly from nissan later for a few bucks if you must put it completely back to stock!
