Trying to install Smittybuilt Atlas steps.Door hinge correct? Why would that bolt have to be removed?
It looks like any other attempts are gonna make that worse. But the bolt is shot anyways & gonna need replacing... maybe carefully try a larger flathead screwdriver, but It may not be worth the effort if you slip & damage the paint.ok tried to install Smittybuilt atlas steps.

It can be removed by someone who has experience with extracting screws and bolts. See my above post. Good luck.Trying to install Smittybuilt Atlas steps.
Thought I could go myself but I canāt. Will pay someone to go it.
Is that bolt bad that I ruined it so it wonāt come out?
Well, yep. Iām not going to try it further. Iāll have someone do it.It can be removed by someone who has experience with extracting screws and bolts. See my above post. Good luck.
Can i order a Mojito replacement bolt? Just in case I take off the Atlas steps if I want to sell years from now?@LLRubylady
Was just last wee or so and there was another forum member that stripped the same bolt. In the posts he made then he described how he got it out finally, etc.. Perhaps you can find those posts or that guy will see you post and reply here.
Not a bad idea to let the shoemakers make the shoes in some cases. Just know your limitations. We all have been bitten once or twice. It's not the end of he world. It will come out and your steps will be on before you know it.Well, yep. Iām not going to try it further. Iāll have someone do it.
Iāve sworn off do9ng anything myself. From now on iāll Just hire. Less frustration.
I think she should hand it off to the pros at this point.One size bit up, hammer it in and use an impact driver. Should break it lose.
