Exposed the top of the drivers side motor mount pretty well, but it stripped immediately. Thinking about how to get that off. 9/16 is still too loose on it, possibly can hammer on a 13mm. Alternately could try bolt extractors, but I've never used those before. Any advice?

I used a bolt extractor to get the stripped head on a caliper bolt out and it worked great. I hammered that sucker on to make sure it wasn't going to slip.

Show pics of angles; I have the tools to satisfy

Though filling (prevention cuts) in concrete absorbed more juice than I expected
