Hi Tom,
Sorry it took a while to get back to ya, I have been distracted the last few weeks and not watching the site.
See my other reply about the drill I used.
I also just thought of something : unbolt either the front or both front and rear engine mounts. Then you can use a jack (with a piece of wood to spread the force) under the oil pan to jack the engine up and/or shift it a little more aft. That may give you the clearance you need to get that out.
Also, I replaced that part with a similar bolt from Ace Hardware. They have a grade 10.0 bolt that has a 5mm hex socket on it, and that seems to be both a good fit and more tolerant of torque applied at an odd angle.
