I recently had the same thing happen to one of the allen bolts on the foot peg holder. I decided to go at it with the plan of softest options first:
1) elastic band over the hole with the correct size allen key
2) hammer a torx in. use manual impact driver
3) heat
4) cut slot in bolt for flat head
At this stage I was getting desperate. Bought some of these on Amazon [size=78%]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Multi-function-Gripping-Extractors-Engineer-neji-saurus/dp/B00NBSVYOY[/size]
Expensive for a tool you don't use so much, and gimmicky looking, but they turned it straight out! The reason they're good is that they properly bite onto the bolt head and you can apply loads of force.
Before I got them I wouldn't have thought they would have worked, but had seen some similar pliers used on Shane Conley's youtube channel. If you're fairly close to West London I can always bring them over one night if you want to try them.
