Drill in the center of the hex bolt with a 5/16" (8mm) drill bit until the head pops off. A short piece of the bolt will remain after the manifold is removed. This can be grabbed with a pair of vise grips. If all else fails, have the local machine shop drill down the center and clean out the threads with a tap. If that fails to salvage the hole, a helicoil, or threaded insert can be installed.
