How I removed my stripped brake caliper bolt. After heating with a torch, lubing still no luck and I stripped the snot out of the the allen wrench type head. I ended up sliding the rubber boot to the side, and turning the pin with vice grips. Actually a couple of flat section on the pin. Filed the pin smooth after, lubed then replaced since the head was stripped only in the CCW direction, it still tightened in the CW direction. Buy new pins if desired but saved on the cost of a torx socket/kit.
