DIY Alternator -- Ran into issues

'Issues' to be charitable...everything was going a bit too well but it looks like the upper alternator bolt head was stripped (or I managed to strip it but it didn't seem like it). It's a hex head, and it's recessed with no other access to the bolt, with a generous 2 inches of clearance next to it.
It's at that point where I can't tell if it's half moving, or just gouging the hole rounder.
Does anyone know if the alternator (tensioner/motor mount) bracket will come off? It almost looks integrated with the intermediate shaft mount so that may dismiss that. I'm going for a 9mm bit hammered in (as best I can with that clearance)...I tried a T55 torx but it didn't quite make it in there. Any other ideas?
Oh, 00 Aero, 117K
Thanks in advance...
