I have called DD but they won't return my call. Not blowing me away with their customer service so far.

I'm going to have to go along with the folks asking for a picture on this one.
Removing a damaged fastener can be an easy task or it can be a real difficult one. I can assure you that if it wont come out with heat to breakdown the lock-tite and an EZ out you may want some professional assistance.
Not knowing the condition of the fastener, nor your experiance level with this kind of stuff, it's difficult to give you good advice without sounding like a dick.
I've done quite a bit of this at work and even I know when to call in someone with more experiance than myself.
Soak it in Bob Smith's, Grab the hex bit one size up from said allen bit and hammer it into the slot of the bolt. Grab your favorite driver and unscrew.
I keep forgetting to post pics. But all it is is a picture of a bolt with a slightly rounded hex head hole. But I will get it.
DD is sucking up a storm in the CS department. I have left a few messages now. Woof. I remember H&K used to be excoriated on the net for not sucking people's toes when they called and DD won't even answer.
You are calling on a Saturday? I hate stripped bolts.. I've always had little success with any method I try. I would love to see your results.
I purchased a small set of pliers from Snap-On Tools about 30 years ago and used them for removing small screws on motorcycle carburetor bowls and other small screws found on engines when nothing else worked. I have also used them to remove firearm screws with stripped heads several times over the years. If you ever run into a situation where you can grip any part of the screw, they are very handy.
The pliers are 4-3/4" long. These are similar to the pliers I purchased. https://store.snapon.com/SearchResul...Tool%20Catalog
You can probably find something comparable at Harbor Freight, Sears or an auto parts store.
